want to use their box as a unique marketing tool,” said Leland. “It’s all about the unboxing experience – that con- tinues to be a big trend – and because we can offer short lead times, high quality, and close personal contact, our service is particularly well-suited to that market.” The company also provides traditional brown boxes. “We work a lot with small entrepreneurs who are buying in quantities of 500, 1,000 or 1,500 boxes for their products, which we can do with our digital printing capabilities. This is what sets us apart from an integrated corrugated board mill. They don’t have that agility and won’t touch the small- er volume jobs,” Leland said. Looking ahead, 2023 will see the installation of a Bobst MASTERSTAR sheet-to-sheet laminator, a single-face sheet delivery system, and VISIONCUT 1.6 PR Autoplaten® die-cutter.
