Colbert Packaging Expands Capabilities

Signature tricks

For Colbert, the 1998 opening of its flexographic printing operations signified one of the most important measures in the company's quest to consistently operate above "one-trick pony" status. According to Lon Johnson, VP, national accounts, the addition of narrow-web flexo printing technology presented Colbert customers with a lower-cost alternative (versus sheetfed offset printing) for high-volume carton printing jobs that included mostly solid colors and did not require technical graphics. This fresh flexo offering also opened up UV printing capabilities, he adds.
