Alliance Packaging is adopting high-end, direct-to-board digital printing with the purchase of an EFI Nozomi C18000 single-pass corrugated packaging press from Electronics For Imaging, Inc.
Alliance Packaging is installing the digital production press at its Seattle headquarters facility.
“We are excited about this press because it is the only digital press available today that allows us to double-down on our strategy of short lead times mixed with high-end graphics,” said Alliance Packaging President Scott Younger. “We chose EFI because of their incredible customer service, the quality of the Nozomi, and the press’s ability to produce high-end work at an economical price point.”
Unprecedented efficiency for direct-to-board digital printing
Shipped in March with installation scheduled for completion in May, Alliance Packaging’s new 71-inch (1.8-meter) wide press boasts speeds of up to 246 linear feet (75 linear meters) per minute, the Nozomi C18000 can print up to 10,000 35x35-inch (890x890-mm) boards per hour two-up. Alliance Packaging’s press will include a six-color configuration of Genuine EFI Inks (CMYK, orange and violet) for imaging with matte, satin or glossy finishes.
Alliance Packaging currently does high volumes of analog, litho-lamination production on boxes and corrugated displays.
