HP Indigo 30000 press
HP has announced that Nosco, a full-service packaging solutions provider, will be the first US customer for the HP Indigo 30000 Digital Press, HP’s new B2 sheetfed press specifically aimed at folding cartons. Nosco will use the new machine to extend digital printing to larger order quantities and to produce customised cartons using variable data for serialisation, personalisation and brand protection.
Nosco is 106 year old company based in Gurnee, Illinois and it serves 350 customers in regulated industries such as pharmaceutical, natural health and personal care. It has been using HP Indigo systems since installing its first press in 2004.
Russ Haraf, President of Nosco commented: “We will soon be able to offer more digital printing capabilities to our customers, helping them improve cycle time and speed to market, lower inventory and obsolescence, and produce short- to medium-run folding cartons more cost-effectively. Given the increased format size, speed and versatility of the HP Indigo 30000, we can economically produce cartons with a turnaround time of days instead of weeks.”
“As a leading packaging solutions provider, Nosco recognizes that our new HP Indigo 30000 Digital Press can produce a much broader range of folding cartons and handle a greater volume of print jobs than today’s digital systems,” said Alon Bar-Shany, VP and general manager of the Indigo Division within HP. “We expect Nosco and other early HP Indigo 30000 customers will take advantage of the press’s larger format and higher productivity to tap into new market opportunities and continue growing their business.” The HP Indigo 30000 Digital Press is scheduled to be available for launch customers in late 2013, with general commercial availability in 2014.
