Caraustar invests in Drent Goebel VSOP

“We came in contact with Drent Goebel through one of our executives. We spent much time with Drent Goebel representatives from Germany and The Netherlands along with their U.S. representatives, PacSys,” Curtis said. “We also visited Drent in Germany and were impressed by the European engineering capabilities. In the long run, we decided on offset because our clients are demanding very high-quality graphics. While flexo continues to improve, offset printing sets the standards. Also the making of offset plates is inexpensive compared to flexo. Furthermore, we see a decline in the number of packages that are printed in one run. The speed to market is also becoming shorter every day. We increasingly see smaller jobs and therefore need a flexible printing press with short makeready times. The concept of variable repeat web offset is perfect for the markets we are in and wish to pursue. We consider it to be future proof.”
