Betting on Digital…and Winning

ILS prints folding cartons for customers, but not with the same frequency as flexible packaging. The single-serve format that spurs flexible packaging jobs for food and personal care products does not have the same role for folding cartons. Also, even small folding cartons, when unfolded, can take up substantial space. "Because of size, we often print cartons one-up," Dollries said. "Don't mistake me on this, though, folding cartons are a digital opportunity, just not as big." ILS is able to use the same AB Graphics finishing line it uses for labels for embossing, hot stamping, diecutting, and varnishing/laminating.
