The BoxMaker, the US-based digitally produced packaging specialist, has purchased two Highcon® Euclid 5C digital cutting systems for its Washington and Arkansas sites to support its growing corrugated business. The system in Washington is already operating, at a monthly run rate of over 300 jobs and the second is due to be installed in June at the Arkansas plant. The BoxMaker is known as an early adopter of digital production and is one of the first companies in the world to have ordered two HP PageWide C500 Digital Printing Presses.
Richard Brown, President and Co-Owner of The BoxMaker and their web-to-print brand, Fantastapack.com, said, “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 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.”
Mike Ciaramella, V.P. Sales and General Manager, Highcon Americas, said, “The BoxMaker is recognized 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 and look forward to continuing our relationship.”
