Before this integration, Abbott-Action’s operators man- ually monitored print quality, relying on spot inspections that posed risks at high production speeds. With machines running at 15,000 boxes per hour, achieving 100% defect detection and elimination without stopping production was nearly impossible. The manual process also led to customer returns, credits, and rework costs, impacting effi- ciency and trust. While these challenges were minor, their goal was, and has always been, zero defects.

“This new machine technology represents a major leap forward in our commitment to innovation and efficiency,” says J. Samuel Abbott, CEO of Abbott-Action Packaging. “By integrating cutting-edge automation and smart analyt- ics, we're not only improving performance and reducing downtime—we're also setting a new standard for what our industry can achieve.” Since integrating A.G. Stacker’s Sample Quality Rejec- tion System and Valco Melton’s PrintChek, Abbott-Action has seen a significant reduction in misprints and waste, while ensuring defective products never make it to final packaging.
