US-based Presstek has announced that Wausau Container, a folding carton converter specialist, has added a Presstek 75DI digital offset press to its production portfolio.
Wausau Container president Chuck Plier said the company has filled an unmet market need for smaller quantities of cartons which were not addressed by the larger converters.
"As lot sizes for many products continue to decline and quality requirements escalate, we needed to find a press that could cost-effectively augment our flexographic production for higher quality carton work, especially those requiring line colors," Plier said.
Presstek sales VP Joe Demharter said they were pleased to be working with Wausau Container as they bolster their digital offset production of folding cartons.
The Presstek 75DI is a automated 31" digital offset press that is available in 4-10 color configurations with a range of productivity enhancing options, which include an inline aqueous coater.
It features support for 300 lpi and FM screening, the ability to print sheet in six minutes, and a small environmental footprint and prints up to 16,000 sheets per hour.
Presstek is a supplier of digital offset printing solutions to the printing, packaging and communications industries.
Wausau Container has 65,000ft2 of manufacturing space, and offsite materials storage of 30,000ft2 and generates about $20 m annually with about 50 employees.
