Komori America announced that PaperWorks Industries, a leading full-service provider of 100% recycled paperboard and specialized folding cartons for packaging applications, has installed a fully-equipped, 41-inch, seven-color Lithrone GX40 (GLX740) offset press with multiple coaters at its Greensboro, NC facility to enhance capabilities and capacity.
PaperWorks produces high-quality packaging for a North American customer base in the food, beverage, oral care, personal care, home care, nutraceuticals and medical device industries. Committed to sustainability, PaperWorks holds certifications from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and 100% Recycled Paperboard Alliance (RPA100).
PaperWorks was looking for additional print capacity, improved efficiencies in makereadies and higher production speeds, as well as up-to-the-minute process controls, such as inline color control, defect detection and automated changeover functions. The Komori GLX740 can accommodate the substrates used in paperboard packaging production and PaperWorks’ new press also includes two coaters to help the company achieve the eye-catching visual effects demanded by its customers.
“We were looking to expand our capabilities for key enterprise customers, as well as to expand our business in multiple high-end market categories,” said Brandon Clairmont, SVP, sales and marketing at PaperWorks. “Adding the new press capabilities allows us to provide enhanced capabilities all under one roof.”
PaperWorks reported it will be implementing an inline cold foil system before the end of 2020 that will allow the production of high-end cartons with cold foil and the double coaters at the end, for a highly efficient and optimized process.
