Highcon introduces folding carton die cutter

Highcon has introduced its new Direct-to-Pack option for folding cartons to complement the Xerox Automated Packaging Solution, including the Epic CTi-635 In-Line Coating System and Stora Enso Gallop Buffering Stacker Line and DC58 Die Cutter.

This digital folding-carton cutting and creasing option will bring efficiencies to converters looking to extend the digital technology into the finishing process. Highcon has been working with Xerox Corporation to perform digital cutting and creasing on folding carton packages printed on the Xerox iGen4.

Powered by Highcon’s patent-pending Digital Adhesive Rule Technology (DART) the Highcon Euclid uses precision laser optics and polymer technologies to transform cutting and creasing from an analogue to a digital workflow, dramatically streamlining the finishing process. This new technology is said to offer brand owners and converters faster and more responsive delivery, increased versioning, shorter run lengths and more creative designs.

Highcon and Xerox both have a keen understanding of the market requirements for innovative ways to differentiate products, short run packaging to support inventory and cost management, as well as regional, local and low-volume products.

‘We are convinced that the Highcon Direct-to-Pack solution will be a game-changer for the folding carton package printers,’ said Chris Baker, Highcon VP sales and business development.  ‘The synergy between the two companies and their solutions is immediate.’
