Scodix installs S Series press at Curtis

- S Series press features 99 gloss units, up to 250 microns in polymer height and variable density capabilities from 1-100 percent

 

Scodix has installed an S Series press at Curtis Packaging as the packaging firm looks to continue to differentiate itself from the market.

 

Curtis Packaging is a US$40 million folding carton company that produces high-end folding carton packaging for customers including major players in the cosmetic industry, such as Estée Lauder, Coty and Elizabeth Arden, as well as packaging for Titleist golf balls and Jack Daniel's.

 

The Scodix S Series press, with its Scodix RSP (rotate, scale, position) technology based on two CCD cameras and highly sophisticated mathematical algorithms, features 99 gloss units, up to 250 microns in polymer height, variable density capabilities from 1-100 percent, and unlimited colors with the Scodix Rainbow station and the digital glittering process. The press handles sheets sized 20 x 29in.

 

Curtis purchased the Scodix press after seeing it in operation at Graph Expo 2012, and the system was shipped directly from the show floor. After only a few months of operating the press, the company said it is recognizing significant benefits as the machine allows them to create eye-catching projects with new memorable effects, and it provides a new marketing tool that is opening doors for salespeople.

 

The printer’s chief executive officer John Giusto said: ‘People come back to us for our creativity and our ability to execute extremely difficult packaging. We do the kind of work that many other people are afraid to do or aren't capable of doing.

 

‘Scodix fits right in with what Curtis is all about – it's a press that is unique and allows us to be creative. There's no limit to what you can do with the Scodix press: the only limit is your imagination.’

 

‘You have to find a way to differentiate yourself to get the opportunities to do the type of packaging we do,’ added Giusto. ‘When a designer comes up with a new package or something unique, we come to mind.’
