Straight & Narrow

The vast majority of folding cartons are presently printed in relatively large quantities on sheet-fed offset presses and trimmed on flat-bed die-cutters. But the nature and shape of the folding carton market is changing and some innovative converters are taking a straight and narrow approach to keep pace with customers' requirements. Smaller package sizes, the rise of single-serve packaging, and the capabilities of narrow-web presses offer new opportunities for converters seeking ways to meet changing market requirements.
