The BoxMaker is the first company in the world to have ordered two HP PageWide C500 Digital Printing Presses.
President and co-owner of The BoxMaker and its web-to-print brand, Fantastapack. com, Richard Brown says: “The addition of these digital cutting and creasing machines is already improving our production capacity, quality and speed of delivery. Not only does this technology allow us to produce new, differentiated structural design options, but it also contributes to our sustainability and waste reduction initiatives
by substantially reducing manufacturing and set up time, eliminating physical die- cutting tooling costs and the required storage, while at the same time enabling ganging of multiple jobs on the same digital die. These abilities allow us to reduce lead times and offer our customers the agility and service they deserve while providing them with unlimited design innovation.” Highcon Americas VP sales and general manager, Mike Ciaramella said: “The BoxMaker is recognised as an industry expert and thought leader in corrugated manufacturing. Their adoption of Highcon technology is a testament to their belief in our solutions and the impact innovative, sustainable, cost-effective packaging and displays can bring to their customers. We are impressed with the speed of their ramp-up.” The Highcon Euclid 5C digital cutting and creasing machine has been specifically engineered to suit the needs of packaging converters working corrugated and fluted
substrates from 1mm up to 3mm / 40-120pt. Not only is the Highcon Euclid 5C designed to save on the production and storage of die cutting forms but also adds the flexibility of digital technology; JIT production, short runs, the ability to customise structure to optimise box size, customised perforations with cleaner edges and easier opening, and variable data etching for customiation or personalisation down to the level of serial numbers.
