Compared to similar companies, Dixon says Rondo-Pak is uniquely positioned in the pharmaceutical market because of its ability to operate in concert with its sister companies. “Our value proposition and the reason we’ve grown is because we’re aligned to work very closely with our sister companies and we are well positioned with growth oriented biotech and pharma customers,” Dixon says. “When they put a new line in, we design our cartons to work with their equipment. We know the bend angles, the tensions, and where to put the creases. Our experience in designing complex cartons to work exceptionally well on high volume production lines allows us to provide solutions in shorter time and with more consistency than our competitors.”

Rondo-Pak’s Norristown facility consists of a 28x40˝ six-color plus UV coating KBA 105 Rapida offset press that handles much of its folding carton printing. The company’s diecutting is done entirely with flatbed dies on a Bobst SP-102-E and a Bobst SPanthera 106 LER. There are also instances in which handstripping is done on cartons, depending on the intricacy of the design, Dixon says.
