Taking Packaging to Heart

Another factor for choosing the Mitsubishi was its ability to handle various grades of paper. According to Picciolo, it runs from 80 lb. paper to 40-point board. This flexibility combined with short makereadies allows Century Packaging to expand its services. "We can run paper up to as many colors as needed," says Picciolo. "It's a 6-color press, but even if it's an 8-color job, I can put the sheets back with a makeready time of 15 minutes. So I could run paper for them, and I could run folding carton board for them."
