Film Buffs

Early this year, Shelton determined its production load—90 percent film-based labels—demanded more efficient, up-to-date slitting/rewinding capabilities. After examining the options, CCL decided to procure equipment common to CCL plants across the United States and Canada; in early 2001, the company purchased three customized 13˝ Rotoflex VLI 330s. Soon, Operations Manager John Hovanec states, the Shelton plant floor will be configured to run the Rotoflex slitting/rewinding operations in-line with existing Gallus presses.
