Diecutter Speeds Folding Carton Turnaround

Thompson has come a long way from the late nights he spent cleaning presses. "I have owned a couple other printing companies and have been very successful in sales for two large commercial printers here in the Dallas area," Thompson says.

While he owned a commercial printing company, he got into folding carton printing "by accident" in the mid-1990s. "It turned out to be a very rewarding step for me," he contends, adding that he also previously owned a small packaging company. So when the opportunity came up to purchase ABOX Packaging in 2004, Thompson jumped on it and has never looked back.
