Press Retrofits—One way to seal the deal!

Advantages of retrofitting include getting into new markets for a relatively small investment; plus converters can upgrade older equipment with some design improvements and add improved capability. “For example,” says Teeter, “they can add UV, rotary screen, cold foil, RFID, inkjet, or coupon capability.”
