Standup Pouches and Digital Presses Bring Change to Folding Cartons

"We are noticing more and more orders," says Avedissian. "We have hope to see all of our 1 to 2,500-piece orders produced and customized on our digital press."

The same strategy is in place at Nosco's largely digital facility in Bristol, Penn., It boasts the first U.S. installation of a B2-size HP Indigo 30000. Flanked by pre- and post-coaters, a near-line cutter-trimmer, a HP Indigo ws6000, and a conventional flexographic press, the big Indigo targets the folding carton market. HP says about half a dozen installations of this same press will be in place around the U.S by the end of 2014.
