J.S. McCarthy Invests In Bobst To Earn Folding Carton Excellence Augusta, Maine based J.S. McCarthy, a folding carton printer, is one of the oldest and largest sheetfed printers in the state. Established in 1947, the business is 100 per- cent employee-owned and has a reputation for exemplary service, world-class owner-operators and leading-edge technology. When combined, the result is a high-quality finished product. Established in the high-end commercial print and finish- ing market, the business has expanded to serve the needs of the growing folding carton market, with an emphasis on the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The company attributes this growth to strong direct mill rela- tionships and strategic and continuous investment in tech- nology such as a sheeter, two 41-inch eight-color presses
and a range of BOBST equipment. The business operates from an expansive 150,000 square-foot facility, employing 160 individuals operating 24/7. Jon Tardiff, President of J.S. McCarthy, right, with his talented team of Bobst equipment operators.
DESIGNS THAT INCREASE PRODUCTION
J.S. McCarthy recognizes that, across the folding carton sector, there are a handful of key pressure points for which its experience in commercial printing brings key advantag- es. These include accessing and processing feedstock, reducing lead times, and exceed- ing service levels in challenging market con- ditions. The business uses multiple Bobst solutions, including two SP104-BM machines, which of- fer both die cutting and hot foil stamping ca- pabilities, designed to meet the needs of the folding carton market. With this technology in place, the business is able to die cut and strip in a simple, straightforward workflow. Since purchasing the SP104-BMs, J.S. Mc- Carthy further invested in Bobst solutions, in- cluding two EXPERTFOLD 110 folder gluers, a VISIONFOLD 110 folder gluer, and an EXPERT- CUT 106 PER flatbed die cutter with a second on order, scheduled to be online in late 2023. EXPERTCUT 106 PER provides the produc- tivity that packaging converters need. Along- side effortless precision and perfect stripping, waste removal and batch alignment for blank- ing, EXPERTCUT features a highly productive workflow, enabling job changeovers in under eight minutes. Hailed as the ‘ultimate all-rounder’ in fold- ing-gluing, the VISIONFOLD 110 line delivers consistent quality and handles an impressive- ly diverse range of box styles. The machine processes multi-fold packaging with a choice of left, right or simultaneous folding. With ex- ceptional stability and precise folding, VISION- FOLD is a durable, cost-efficient, and high- speed solution for the folding carton market.
