Battlefield Press, which operates in a 45,000-square- foot facility, recently acquired the assets of Clearpak, a leading manufacturer of clear plastic retail folding cartons, boxes, tubes, shelf flags and displays for the US, Canada, and Mexico. This acquisition moved Battlefield into clear rigid carton manufacturing and necessitated the need for an additional die cutter as has its targeting of the folding carton market. The new blanker Ipress 106 K PRO is an advanced blanker for customers who look for high-speed production combined with exceptional registration, high quality stan- dards, and easy handling and fast preparation. It can be equipped with the new OPMR (Optical Print Mark Register) for the front and side-lays registration.
