The new single-pass, direct-to-board PageWide C500 uses HP’s Thermal Inkjet technology.

“This high-volume capacity combined with digital efficiency further establishes an unprecedented speed-to-market in the corrugated industry,” said John Kelley, president of Dusobox. “We continue to challenge and surpass the standard six-week delivery to now, under two weeks. It’s one of the ways we have earned our esteemed level of 98% customer satisfaction.”

This latest investment follows just two years after the purchase of HP Scitex 15500 Corrugated Press for short-run retail packaging and displays.

Dusobox will utilize the PageWide C500 press to print a wide range of applications, including nutritional products, health and beauty, and a vast range of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sold through large national and regional retailers.

Among these new digitally addressable applications is food and beverage packaging, both primary and secondary.
