Zumbiel Packaging proves gravure printing can compete in the era or short runs

By Chris Mc Loone

A folding carton printer, the company comprises two divisions: beverage (including beer, soft drinks, energy drinks, and teas) and consumer products (with small boxes, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals). Its 11 (three gravure) presses are located in two facilities. The widest gravure press the company owns is 48˝. Two of the presses are Champlaigne-manufactured, and the third is a Zerand press. Zumbiel can print up to 8 colors on webs up to 67˝ wide or sheets up to 55˝ (on its litho press).
