Leading European packaging company Chesapeake is planning to further expand its digital capability by investment in the Highcon Euclid digital cutting and creasing machine.
‘We have been following the progress of the Highcon technology for some time,’ said Dougie Potter, technical services director of Chesapeake, ‘and were delighted to see it perform live at drupa. We believe the addition of this unique digital solution can complement our existing equipment and offer more flexibility to better serve the needs of our customers.’
Nigel Tracey, sales director at Highcon, said of the exhibition: ‘Converters from all over the world came to see this revolutionary product, including the leading suppliers in the industry. With shipments starting at the end of the year we are ramping up to meet the very welcomed demand.’
The Euclid is a completely digital production cutting and creasing machine and removes the necessity for production of a die by implementing new polymer and laser technologies to carry out the creasing and cutting. Set up time is reduced to minutes and will allow converters to be far more responsive to customer demands.
