Colonial Carton Adds Third Bobst Alpina II

The AccuBraille system can be added to any new generation Alpina or Mistral folder/gluer. Providing product information in Braille on packaging is a growing trend in many markets and the number of industries and manufacturers adopting this practice continues to grow at a steady pace. Pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and the music industry (CD jackets) are the current leaders in this arena. Product information in Braille on pharmaceutical packaging is now mandatory in Europe under the EU directive 2001/83/EC and indications are that this trend is migrating to North America as well. Some European brand owners have already begun to require this feature on their packaging bound for, or produced in the United States.
