Zumbiel Packaging, a provider of innovative paperboard packaging solutions since 1843, has recently acquired the state-of-the-art HP PageWide T470S Press.
This strategic investment marks a significant milestone for Zumbiel Packaging, as it not only enhances their folding carton production capabilities but also paves the way for a new era in automated production workflows for the paperboard packaging sector.
Revolutionising the folding carton manufacturing process
Zumbiel Packaging, recognised as North America’s largest producer of digitally printed folding cartons, has established itself as a trailblazer in the industry by adopting digital print technology.
Understanding the rising demand for faster turnaround and customisation, Zumbiel has embraced digital printing technologies to transform the traditional folding carton manufacturing process.
The T470S Press is a testament to its commitment to innovation, featuring a unique configuration that sets it apart from anything else in the folding carton industry.
This impressive digital production line spans more than 180 feet. It includes automated roll handling and splicing, water-based expanded gamut inks, inline coatings, inline post-print sheeting and downstream material handling logistics.
These advancements enable Zumbiel Packaging to feed their large format (145 cm) sheet-fed die-cutters with unmatched speed, efficiency, and flexibility.
Enhanced efficiency and exceptional print quality
According to Ed Zumbiel, the addition of the robust HP PageWide T470S Press perfectly complements Zumbiel Packaging’s mega-volume beverage multipack production model.
This cutting-edge inkjet press line not only increases efficiency throughout their operations but also provides greater order flexibility, enhanced production agility, and faster speed to market, all while maintaining exceptional print quality.
With a high-speed and high-throughput capacity of approximately 1,000,000 square feet per eight-hour shift, the press line minimises production waste and supports versioned and variable graphics.
This empowers brands to stand out in the highly crowded and competitive marketplace.
