Warneke Paper Box, based in Denver, Colorado, has begun the installation of a Primefire 106 from Heidelberg. The seven-colour B1 inkjet press will allow the packaging printer to expand its business by collaborating with their customers on targeted short-run packaging campaigns and provide added security to cartons through variable content.
Steve Huppert, vice president and COO, said, ‘We first saw the Primefire at drupa 2016 and were amazed by the results. We’re excited for the new opportunities that it will create for both us and our customers.’
The company was established over 110 years ago and produces folding cartons, set-up boxes, POP displays and pocket folders. ‘We’ve trusted Heidelberg as a partner for years to develop groundbreaking technology that can help their customers turn a profit. We have no doubt that the Primefire will do just that,’ added Stacy Warneke, president and CEO of Warneke Paper Box. ‘We’re thrilled that we will be the first in the US to put this state-of-the-art technology to work.’
‘By adding the Primefire 106 to its existing offset production fleet, Warneke will now be able to use the most profitable technology for each different purpose. Additionally, with the new product types and possibilities they will now be able to offer to their customers, Warneke is set to grow their business now and into the future,’ commented Montserrat Peidro-Insa, head of digital print business at Heidelberg.
