Colbert Packaging Expands Capabilities

The CP 585's ability to produce a greater variety of more complex packaging graphics and designs led to a notable shift in flexographic printing's overall role within Colbert's operations. With every new job that comes in the door, Colbert's account management team reviews carton specification and quantities to determine the best production fit within its facilities, Johnson relates. With the incorporation of the CP 585's capabilities, however, the Colbert team began more frequently finding that flexo could be the most viable production solution. For example, notes Hamilton, a large eye-care product company that uses foil cartons found that its packages were better suited for flexo production because of the CP 585's ability to print white solids over foil.
