has allowed us to open other markets. We provide a wide range of coatings for specific needs such as baking and water resistance. As an example, we've created water-re- sistant packaging that can withstand harsh New England weather. It's a perfect product for local garden centers.” “We’re always watching for new technology that will provide the greatest benefit for us and more importantly our customers. But it’s more than just technology — to be successful you need reliable partners and synergy to work together for the common goal. JB Machinery an example of such a partner. Like us, they are a multi-generational, family-owned business. They have helped us automate our machines to reach our maximum quality, speed and efficiency goals,” says Abbott. Abbott-Action’s Apstar 1628 HG2 is equipped with a range of JB products including seven ColorDry XL3000® IR drying units with AutoDryer Control, KomandCenter,
ways to move their products from the shelf to the cart fast- er,” says Abbott. Abbott-Action’s most recent investment is a 4-color Is- owa Falcon FP50 flexo folder-gluer with inline diecutting. The high-speed FP50 features an easy access fixed-archi- tecture design that allows set-while-run enabling 1-minute changeovers. It can produce 350 high-quality multi-color boxes per minute and up to 700 boxes per minute when using their BWPS Twin Box Slitter. “Our 7-color Apstar can print five colors outside and two colors inside. It was the first inside/outside (I/O) rotary die cutter in the Northeast,” explains Abbott. “Many people think of I/O printers as just being for e-commerce work or for enhancing the unboxing experience. While we certain- ly do our fair share in both of those categories, the Apstar

VisionMaster, four KleenPlate units, and seven InKomand precise ink control units. Their 3-color Isowa IBIS flexo folder-gluer also takes advantage of the JB ColorDry XL3000 IR dryer and InKomand systems. Prior to the JB installations, in order to maintain the high-quality print that their customers expect, operators had to continually check ink characteristics and make frequent production stoppages for spot checks and cleaning. Plates needed regular cleaning to maintain consistent defect-free prints, and ongoing quality checks were essential for color consisten- cy. Machine speeds were also limited due to longer drying times. “Since implementing JB's products, we've seen significant improvements in process reliability,” says Abbott. “This al- lows our operators to focus on other as- pects of production and has led to reduced production time, labor costs, and waste. Ultimately, all these benefits transfer to our customers in the form of consistent, cost-effective, innovative, high-quality cor- rugated packaging.” In the past several years Abbott-Ac- tion has added numerous new produc- tion lines including a Bobst VisionCut 1.6 high-precision platen die cutter, Masterfold folder-gluer, 4-color EMBA 160 flexo fold- er-gluer, ESKO Kongsberg digital cutting tables, and a Barberán Jetmaster 1890 digital printer. “The Jetmaster was the first of its kind in the United States and the largest and fastest digital printer in the Northeast. This cutting-edge technology gave us a leading edge in the marketplace,” says
