Indiana Carton Opts for 65˝ Heidelberg Flexo Press to Support Growth Plan

In order to support ambitious growth plans, Indiana Carton Company (ICC) has ordered and will soon get delivery of a new, seven-color, 65˝ wide Heidelberg Intro flexo press for large-format folding carton production.

Indiana Carton Company has purchased a 65˝ Heidelberg flexo press, which will begin production in July.

The new machine will be installed in the company’s Bremen, Ind. facility and start of production is scheduled for July 2017.

The press is equipped with the latest technology and includes an in-line sheeter and an automatic washing system for all print units. Within scope of supply are carbon fiber chambers, offering excellent stiffness and rigidity (300% better than aluminum). Carbon fiber chambers with low weight allow for quicker cleaning and maintenance and therefore a safer working environment.

Heidelberg Web Carton Converting GmbH (HWCC) will support ICC during the start-up and production period with an intensive operator training, to make sure that Indiana Carton can reach full capacity very quickly.

Indiana Carton Company, Inc. has been serving the folding carton market since 1933. ICC’s solidarity as an independent, family-owned business provides an excellent foundation for its employees and customers. ICC focuses on custom food packaging found in grocery stores, supermarkets, wholesale bakeries and restaurants.

“We looked at every press on the market, and in the end chose a Heidelberg flexo machine based on their outstanding track record, testimonials from their customers, and the perfect print quality we saw delivered on other Heidelberg presses. The Heidelberg team bent over backward to meet our technical needs, making the decision an easy one,” said Ken Petty, president and CEO of Indiana Carton.
