JOB DESCRIPTION
FEATURED INSTALLATION


Folding carton converter Goldrich Printpak, Toronto, ON, Canada, has installed an Esko Kongsberg XN24 finishing table and ArtiosCAD software to finish samples and short production runs. The table has made the process easier, and cutting and creasing of cosmetics boxes much finer. The system also is able to cut coating blankets for its offset presses. "We handle cardboard, thin corrugated, and plastics and were looking for a machine that could handle these substrates. We wanted a quality machine that could cut materials very well and that was durable enough to work for us for the next 20 years," says Leslie Goldberg, president/CEO, pictured right with (from left) Litho Supervisor Simo Molkanen, Senior CAD Designer Marcelo Quinteros, and VP New Business Development AJ Goldberg. "One large retail customer recently asked for a full pallet of samples--160 pieces. Previously it was a nightmare to try to get these projects done. Now, we're excited to push the table to the limits." Goldberg recently met with a cosmetics customer to deliver 24 box samples made of virgin SBS with a bright silver metallized polyester surface. "I do not think we would have been able to get there with our old cutting table."

Counterfeiting has become a worldwide problem, and the dangers it poses to brand owners can be vast. It could threaten public health, increase taxes, and raise the price of legitimate products. Worst of all, it could damage the reputation of a brand.

In this white paper, Sun Chemical shows how its diverse brand-protection product portfolio and presence around the world can make it a good fit to help resolve counterfeiting issues on packaging for any multi-national brand.
