This expansion of its digital printing capabilities supports Rondo-Pak’s carton assembly and branded sampling service, by providing a wider selection of substrates, increased paperboard thickness and additional security applications. 

Bob Reilley, Rondo-Pak COO, said: ‘This latest equipment investment is especially valuable to Rondo-Pak’s folding carton customers as it increases our ability to scale production from branded samples through steady state volumes.

Rondo-Pak noted that the HP Indigo press is compatible with a host of hardy substrates, and works well with expanded material types, including synthetics like PVC, PET, Teslin and plastic cards, and can handle both dark and transparent substrates. The HP Indigo 5900 also provides increased production speeds, and offers expanded primer technology for various paperboards, offset stock and specialty papers.

In addition, Rondo-Pak has continued its G7 Master qualification for the 21st consecutive quarter. The distinction is awarded by Idealliance, a non-profit industry group dedicated to guiding print production best practices, specifications and standards worldwide. This qualification ensures Rondo-Pak can ensure brand consistency across the broadest range of printed marketing products and packaging products.
