Jaakkoo-Taara invests in HP Indigo 35K

Finnish printer adds digital press with in-line coating for pharmaceutical folding carton production.

Finnish printing company Jaakkoo-Taara has invested in an HP Indigo 35K digital press with a Tresu iCoat II in-line coating unit to strengthen its folding carton production capabilities for the pharmaceutical industry, with delivery and installation scheduled for March 2026.

The press will be used for pharmaceutical carton production, meeting demands for quality, consistency and regulatory compliance. The investment supports Jaakkoo-Taara's strategy of combining operational excellence with advanced digital print technology.

'This is a natural next step for us to widen our digital printing capabilities,' commented Thomas Brusila, managing director at Jaakkoo-Taara. 'The HP Indigo 35K gives us the quality, color stability and process control required for pharmaceutical production, while also offering the flexibility and efficiency we need to support our customers' evolving requirements.'

The HP Indigo 35K is designed for short and medium run lengths of folding carton and packaging production. With print quality, repeatability and support for a wide range of substrates, the press enables converters to deliver consistent results. Combined with the Tresu iCoat II in-line, Jaakkoo-Taara gains capabilities for in-line spot coating, supporting functional and aesthetic requirements of pharmaceutical applications.

The investment represents the start of a new partnership for Visutech, the Nordic supplier that sold the press.

'We are very pleased to welcome Jaakkoo-Taara as a new customer to Visutech and HP Indigo,' noted Max Liljegren, sales executive for labels and packaging at Visutech. 'The HP Indigo 35K is a powerful platform for folding carton production, offering proven reliability, color control and scalability. We look forward to supporting Jaakkoo-Taara as it brings this press into production and continues to grow its business.'
