When Carolina Container reached out to Göpfert, the manufacturer was eager to find the perfect solution. Göp- fert, a third-generation, family-owned company based in Wiesentheid, Germany, specializes in high-end full-line corrugated board processing systems – prefeeder to pal- letizer – tailored to the customer’s requirements was more than pleased to find the perfect solution for Carolina Con- tainer. The new rotary die-cutter can produce blanks print- ed on both outside and inside in a single pass and fulfils Carolina Container’s requirement for the tightest register accuracy, high production speeds, and exceptional print quality. The demand for boxes printed on both sides has risen in recent years, driven by the growth of e-commerce. In response, Carolina Container continues to invest in the company’s capabilities to find innovative solutions for cus- tomers. “The overall installation was expertly organized by the Göpfert team and executed with great efficiency. Carolina Container is excited about the future business opportuni- ties this machine will provide, especially as it allows us to enter the high-graphics market,” says Jonathan Leerkes, COO, Carolina Container. Earlier this year, the eight-color HBL Evolution with two top print stations and six bottom print stations was suc- cessfully delivered, installed, and commissioned. The in- stallation went smoothly, thanks to the preparation by both the Carolina Container team and the Göpfert project crew. The Göpfert machine ensures precise process control and very tight registration for boxes. It can be set up while running, and when combined with the dual rotary die-cut- ter, setup time has been reduced to under 10 mins. The Göpfert HBL includes fully automatic anilox roll print sta- tions, allowing for roll change in less than three minutes.
