Acme Corrugated Box Featured On This Month’s Breaking Down Boxes AICC, The Independent Packaging Association, announc- es the latest episode of Breaking Down Boxes featuring Bob Cohen, President of Acme Corrugated Box. Cohen’s family went from selling rags to selling used boxes to creating an innovative manufacturing company. With humility, Cohen shares his company’s story of growth and how he and his wife chose to give back to the com- munity that supported them. Spurred on by the tight mar- ket in the 1970s, Cohen went from being a distributor to a converter, starting with a used letterpress. Following his instincts, Cohen continued to grow the company and eventually brought his three sons into the family company. Breaking Down Boxes is updated monthly and host- ed by Gene Marino of Akers Packaging and AICC Board Chair, and Joe Morelli, Huston Patterson Printers and AICC Associate Board Chair.

Do you need printed sheets? We have your answer.. Introducing Heartland’s ColorCorr. This is “flexo-printing in the round”. On our corrugator we can print up to 109” wide. The advantage is that we can print the equivalent of ½ roll at a time and not be required to keep several rolls of very expensive preprinted paper on the floor. Much less waste and risk. In continual print mode, we use either laser-engraved rubber rolls or solid rubber rolls to print a “flood coat” or a repeating pattern. If we are printing a repeating pattern, we can run a two-color design on the paper. Customers have found that running sheets we print can allow them to run a lighter-grade due to reduced caliper loss, and in some cases eliminate one or more machine passes.
