Before the Box
Once a die is manufactured and sent to the customer, the actual finishing can begin. David Henke, general manager of Mimir Flexo Printing, a Missouri-basedproducer of a variety of packaging, including folding cartons, says once the printing is complete, the key to the next step is in the delivery.
"We'll put the die in place and the job is diecut, scored, stripped, and delivered all in one station," describes Henke. "Then it comes out on a conveyor so that one or two people can be packing them in a box or onto a skid to go to a folder-gluer."
