Located in Bridgeport, CT, Valley Container continues its growth in the paper packaging space with the addition of a Durst Delta WT 250 corrugated printer. In business since 1969, the family owned and operated corrugated sheet plant offers speciality display and packaging solutions.

‘This machine fits well in our workflow as we see it as a complementary piece for our extensive list of converting machines,’ said general manager Robert Niedermeier. ‘The machine is very flexible in just about every way. Specifically, we’re able to slip sample runs in on existing sheets simply through the Durst Workflow software.’

In its 120,000 square foot facility, Valley Container enjoys an extensive history in the packaging industry, going beyond standard corrugated applications offering to corrugated products, shipping boxes, paperboard products and the design and manufacturing of high-end graphic point of purchase displays.

The Delta WT 250 is a corrugated and display packaging print solution featuring eco-friendly Durst Water Technology. It is suited for a range of applications and offers the ability to produce high-quality output in standard or custom sizes from a batch size of one.

‘That was a no brainer for me, as I felt that Durst Water Technology ink set gave a better print quality without any of the inherent risks,’ said Mr Niedermeier. ‘The Delta WT 250 gives us the ability to provide a sustainable product with its water technology ink set, all the while, showcasing our creative capabilities to their highest levels.’

The Delta WT 250 prints with a maximum six colours up to 3700sqft/h and the multi-pass printing system can be adapted to suit specific customer requirements.

‘There were two major offerings that made the Durst shine brighter. The first was the fact that it had an automated feeding solution making the machine fully efficient on the front end, the most important part of any efficiency study,’ said Mr Niedermeier. ‘The second offering was the ability for the machine to run two sheets side by side … having the ability to run jobs side by side, we double our output of sheets and really get our productivity ramped up each job.’

‘We are not afraid to take a risk with new ideas and technology to push the envelope of what we have to offer,’ concluded Mr Niedermeier.
