The Boxmaker Chooses Highcon Euclid 5C Systems to Grow Corrugated Business
April 28, 2021The BoxMaker, a US leader in digitally produced packaging, has purchased
two Highcon® Euclid 5C digital converting 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 the
first company in the world to have ordered 2 HP PageWide C500 Digital Printing
Presses.
According to Richard Brown, President and Co-Owner of The BoxMaker and their
web-to-print brand, Fantastapack.com, “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.”
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.”
