Traco Packaging is adding a new HP Indigo 6900 Digital Press, which will help supply the demand for custom printed shrink sleeves, labels and flexible packaging.
 
Traco has upgraded to a fleet of all-HP Indigo presses with HP Indigo 6900 capabilities. At the Traco facility in Orem, Utah, the HP Indigo 6900 runs alongside Traco’s existing fleet of digital and flexo presses.
 
According to Gary Whitehead, print production specialist at Traco, the HP Indigo 6900 advanced digital printing capabilities will help Traco deliver the growing need for secure print, including tamper-proof mechanisms.
 
“Digitally printed sleeves are a perfect fit for these tamper-evident needs,” he said.
 

“Craft beverages are also experiencing an upswing, driving demand for printing technology that can cost-effectively cope with this industry’s SKU proliferation for seasonal and event versioning,” added John Palica, president of Traco Manufacturing, Inc.
 
“The challenge with aluminum, Deco-printed cans are the minimum order quantity is very prohibitive,” Whitehead said. “By labeling with shrink sleeves, breweries can stock blank cans and customize them on-demand with unlimited designs from one can to thousands. It’s a slam dunk for inventory challenges and the print quality is unmatched.”
 
Traco is also acquiring an AB Graphics Digicon Series 3 finishing press for post-press finishing of digital sleeves and labels.
