This past winter, Crossmark Graphics decided to boost its postpress department even further with a new Ipress 106 K PRO die cutter from Koenig & Bauer, which arrived in early February 2023.

O.C. Tanner installed a new Kongsberg X24 Edge digital cutting solution at its headquarters in Salt Lake City, to eliminate third-party packaging contracts and increase its own ability to bring new award designs to life.

Labels, Tags & Inserts (LTI) has expanded its capabilities with the installation of the Insignia6H diecutter with a folding gluing system from Rollem for its Burlington, NC, facility. 

Royal Containers has successfully started up its MASTEDRO flexo rotary die-cutter with inside-outside print capabilities.

40 years ago, the BOBST SP 102-CE Autoplaten stole the show at drupa in 1982. ​

For the entirety of Wade's nearly 30 years with Keystone, the business has used BOBST equipment to tackle short-run jobs.

The packaging, printing, and consumer packaged goods industries mourn the loss of thought leader, industry steward, and philanthropist Howard T. Kaneff. Hundreds join tribute to Kaneff for his leadership and history of innovation in the packaging and printing industries.

Diametric recently acquired the Kongsberg X20 as part of a strategic upgrade at the company’s manufacturing plant on the Isle of Wight.

Labels and packaging offer commercial printers intriguing growth opportunities, but making the transition is easier said than done.
