UK converter to take world’s first Highcon Euclid

- To take delivery of world’s first Euclid in April

 

- Follows investment in other packaging technology

 

Glossop Cartons has placed an order for the world's first Highcon Euclid digital cutting and creasing system, designed to offer greater speed, flexibility and cost savings on shorter runs in the folding carton market.

 

The Highcon Euclid (pictured, below) combines patent-pending DART technology to create the digital crease lines, with a unique high-speed and high-quality laser cutting solution. It does not require a conventional die, removing the time associated with die production and additional machine set-up.

 

Glossop Cartons has a strong customer base of household names and will take delivery of the Euclid in April. As an early adopter of the Euclid, Highcon will be working closely with Glossop Cartons to maximize the potential of the machine.

 

The purchase follows other recent investments in package printing technology at Glossop Cartons.

 

Glossop Cartons director Jacky Sidebottom (pictured, top) said: ‘Glossop Cartons is constantly looking for new ways to improve its products and services for customers.

 

‘The Highcon Euclid opens up a new range of possibilities for our customers: bespoke packaging, for short runs, pushing design boundaries and being able to respond to seasonal product changes cost effectively.

 

‘This direct-to-pack concept fits perfectly with our company values of innovation, responsiveness, competitiveness and customer focus.’

 

Mark Nixon of Conversion, Highcon’s channel partner in the UK, said: ‘Glossop Cartons is an ideal candidate for the Highcon Euclid.

 

‘It specializes in offering customers flexibility and service and the digital cutting and creasing capabilities of the Euclid will allow them to enhance their product offering and bring quality packages to the shelf even more rapidly.’
