The World of Wide-web

Tom Jacques, marketing strategist for Paper Converting Machine Company (PCMC), notes the increasing demand for short runs in the packaging industry caused PCMC to retool its flexo press offerings for the wide-web market.

"Increasingly we see a lot more short-runs coming in," says Jacques, who explains the new eXell press from PCMC was introduced as a hybrid between mid-web and wide-web offerings. "Quicker and quicker change-overs will get us to the point that mid-web and wide-web won't have a difference in terms of changeover times."
