Reap What You Sow

It is a common business model that what you invest in plays a big role in what you get back. So, what can package printers do to improve productivity? One option is to invest in the right cores, shafts, and chucks for your print runs.

“The persistent trend that we see with our customers is their desire to increase machine throughput, reduce waste, and improve ergonomics. They find that properly specified machine components can help them achieve all three,” says Bret Hardy, marketing manager, Double E Company. “Double E takes advantage of this trend in many ways. For example, we offer lightweight carbon fiber lug shafts that can carry heavier and/or wider rolls at higher critical speeds. We also recently debuted a new lightweight strip shaft that reduces weight by [more than] 20 percent without diminishing load capacity. The shafts perform at a higher level while improving worker safety.”
