Curtis Packaging, a specialist in luxury folding carton packaging, has invested in the first Scodix Ultra 6000 Press powered by SHD.
As the trends for shorter runs and increased versioning of products continue, the Scodix Ultra 6000 powered by SHD will allow Curtis to keep up with demanding turnaround times, whilst the number and quality of embellishments will ‘satisfy practically any customer need’, according to the company.
Don Droppo Jr, Curtis Packaging president and CEO, said, ‘Between the versatility of ten different applications, and the variable data capabilities of the Scodix press, we will be able to capture a larger portion of the market with our increased capacity and capabilities. We are also excited to offer our customers new and unique treatments for their existing and upcoming product lines. We feel that these new capabilities will help us take our customers to the next level in terms of the visual impact of their products, but also get the job done cost effectively.’
The Scodix Ultra 6000 Press embellishes print at up to 1000 B1 sheets per hour. The new SHD model incorporates algorithm-controlled software for achieving high accuracy and clarity of complicated detailing for visually striking foiling and spot embellishing.
Mr Droppo Jr added, ‘Scodix technology clearly differentiates itself from traditional stamping and embossing, as there are no die costs. Aside from saving dollars, each and every run could be customized with its own unique, complementary feel. It’s imperative for strong brands to jump out on the shelves in the ultra-competitive markets of cosmetics, chocolates and spirits that we operate in.’
