Taking pride of place in its newly opened facility in St Thomas, Ontario, Royal Containers has successfully started up its MASTERDRO flexo rotary die-cutter with inside-outside print capabilities – the first of its type in North America.
J.S. McCarthy attributes this growth to strong direct mill relationships and strategic and continuous investment in technology such as a sheeter, two 41-inch eight-color presses and a range of BOBST equipment.
The system reduces manual print handling and consolidates cuttrim finishing in a single-pass automated process. Specifications include support for up to 21-up impositions, and paper weights up to 350 gsm, while running at speeds up to 6000 input sheets per hour.
