packaging companies certified in the USA. I’ve personally taken care of 100 percent of the G7 certifications of them.” Martorell says brands like Procter & Gamble and Co- ca-Cola are requiring their packaging suppliers to use G7 standards. This ensures that their brand colors will match regardless of where or on what equipment the packaging is printed. “They can get a more similar print,” he says. “Be- tween different printing companies, the grays are neutral and they increase the printing quality.” Shelton says G7 provides an opportunity to explain to customers color matching methodology. “It’s a good way to educate your customer on digital when you’re trying to match something.

We are now able to say to customers, ‘If we want to hit 186 red and it’s off by a Delta E of 2, we are still within our G7 tolerance.’” Martorell says Custom Packaging was relentless in its pursuit of G7. “They have been one of the most insistent. Stephanie became a G7 expert so she believes in this and understands the importance of printing the correct colors. It’s one of the companies that trusts more in this,” he says. “Stephanie pioneered the way for us with the Barberán and G7,” says Julie West, Custom Packaging Director of Sales & Marketing. She says the company’s goal is to re- produce the same quality consistently with every order. G7 and the new digital printer facilitates that. “It added to all the tools we already had and it allows us to hit color matches and be repeatable because we have so many re- peat orders,” she says. The 210,000-square-foot plant averages about 135,000-sqare-feet per shift. “We have a high functioning plant because we run so much in two shifts. It is our culture and our focus. Every employee understands that.” Workflow Efficiencies Digital printing has provided a path for new business as well as growth opportunities for existing customers. In addition, the company is running jobs for other board con- verters and other Hood Container Corp. facilities. Custom
