were very responsive and completely fixed the issue we had experienced. It’s so important to have support when you purchase a new machine.” With the positive experience Cumberland has had with Haire Group and their service team, they purchased an Ap- star 1632 RDC with 3-outside and 1-inside print capability. Nearly three years after installation, Cumberland Con- tainer continues to applaud the Apstar HG2. “The Apstar has been a fantastic addition. It has performed exponen- tially better than our S&S FFG. Our purchase has paid div- idends,” commented Tim Dunn, CFO. For Cumberland, the benefit of the Apstar speaks for it- self. With the Apstar HG2, setup time averages decreased from 35 minutes to 10 minutes creating more production capacity. Printing accuracy increased dramatically and in- stantly; run time was minimized due to inside/outside print-
ing eliminating multiple passes. Design Style Trays (DST’s) were moved off a Printer/Slotter to the Apstar FFG, not only decreasing setup time but also increasing production speed. Pieces per hour average increased by 270 percent within six months of installation. FIT Students Win 2021 Design Challenge
