K-1 Packaging has installed the Esko Kongsberg XL22 with the Studio Visualizer press at its California location.
According to the firm, it uses presses for printing litho laminated cartons, rigid set-up boxes, flexible packaging, and pressure-sensitive labels, as its product line has expanded to include rigid set-up boxes constructed from a variety of materials, reported whattheythink.com.
Visualizer can create animation that rotates a design in space, so its customers can see the package from different angles.
The implementation is an extension to other Esko technologies like the CDI Spark XT, DeskPack software, Nexus workflow, and ArtiosCAD structural design software.
K-1 Packaging Group president Mark Tsai said he had chosen Esko solution as it believes it is the only supplier in the world that offers comprehensive integration to packaging design and prepress.
"Cosmetic companies rely on a lot of specialty finishing techniques such as foil stamping, embossing, UV coating, and metalized foil board to create a visual punch," added Tsai.
K-1 Packaging Group was established in 1993 as a duplicator shop, which transformed itself into a packaging converting specialist serving the processed food, cosmetics, nutritional, personal care and dietary supplement segments.
