Kartongbolaget invests in Fujifilm Jet Press 750S

Swedish packaging specialist Kartongbolaget has enhanced its production capabilities with a Fujifilm Jet Press 750S, which the company invested in at drupa 2024 and installed in December.

Founded in 1944, Kartongbolaget employs 48 staff and offers a full-service approach covering proofing to short-run, highly customized packaging with fast turnarounds. The investment marks the company's first collaboration with Fujifilm.

Visutech's field service engineers installed the press, ensuring seamless start-up and local service support as Fujifilm's distribution partner in the Nordics.

'We installed the Jet Press 750S in December 2024 and began production in January,' commented Joakim Johansson, CEO of Kartongbolaget. 'Not only did it relieve pressure on our offset equipment for shorter runs, but it's also been a game-changer in terms of speed and flexibility, especially when responding to urgent customer deadlines. Our start-up customers benefit from cost-effective short runs with the flexibility to scale, while our more established brands value the fast turnaround and high quality work delivered on demand.'

The press reproduces 90 percent of the Pantone range, enabling accurate proofs before full runs. Johansson highlights improved uptime compared to the company's previous digital press, along with robust sheet transport and machine stability.

'As a business committed to sustainable practices, we also saw the Jet Press 750S as a strong asset to our environmental strategy as it supports our zero-waste ambitions and helps us deliver a clearer, more powerful message to our eco-conscious customers,' Johansson added.

The press will be central to Kartongbolaget's continued evolution, allowing faster planning and greater flexibility while reinforcing its position as a packaging supplier in Scandinavia.

'We're delighted to welcome Kartongbolaget as a valued new customer and it's fantastic to see the Jet Press 750S already having such a positive impact,' stated Tommy Segelberg, segment manager of Fujifilm Digital Packaging & Inkjet EMEA.

Alexander Tormachen, service manager Nordics at Visutech, noteed the importance of reliable service and local expertise for customer success, with field service engineers ensuring smooth installations and long-term uptime.
