Colbert Packaging Purchases Mitsubishi Press

The Tandem Perfector is a dedicated perfector that can perfect carton stock in one pass. Colbert Packaging's Tandem Perfector handles 0.008-inch to 0.032-inch board. It prints six colors on the front of the sheet and one color on the back.

“This arrangement has worked out fantastically,” Sifrer stated. “Because we are a folding carton manufacturer, we print, diecut, and glue the sheets. Before we installed the Mitsubishi perfector, we would use conventional inks on the top and bottom sides but then apply an aqueous coating to protect the ink on the backside to avoid marking on our gluers. Now the UV ink sets up dry, and there is no scuffing or rubbing when the sheet runs through the gluer.”
