K-1 Packaging Group Adds New Technology From Esko

ArtiosCAD also works seamlessly with the Kongsberg table; design files are output from the ArtiosCAD workstation to the Kongsberg XL22 for cutting and creasing of structural samples.

An expanding product line
Over the years, K-1's product line has expanded beyond simple folding cartons, to include rigid set-up boxes constructed from a variety of materials—wood, acrylic, foam, leather and suede—for customers that produce luxury goods, cosmetics, skin care products, and very high-end candles. "We've manufactured rigid boxes for Italian leather boots, where the box is made from the same leather used on the boot," says Tsai. "The core of the box is made from compressed fiberboard but the outside is finished in Italian leather."
