veyance system by ACS, Morrisette Packaging is taking an unrivaled position in the North American packaging landscape. “We bought the machines together and will have suc- ceeded in creating something no one else in this indus- try…or on this continent has.” says Morrisette Packaging’s president, John Morrisette. Morrisette Packaging will leverage the design capabil- ities of Artios’ structural packaging software, and all ma- chine centers will be controlled by Amtech Software.

enhance their branding, increase production efficiency, re- duce overall costs, and/or automate their packaging pro- cesses. With the addition of the high graphics corrugated man- ufacturing division, Morrisette Packaging is positioning itself as a premier packaging company in North America with the ability to design beautiful graphics, create innova- tive structures, automate processes, customize foam, and now, manufacture digital or flexographic printing, gluing, cutting, and delivery, all in-house.

New AICC member Morrisette Packaging may not be known to everyone, but with a portfolio that includes some of the finest machinery on the planet, they will be soon. The Latest And Greatest The two foundational machines for their new high graphics manufacturing operation are from the renowned European manufacturer Koenig & Bauer. The Koenig & Bauer|Celmacch ChromaCUT High Tech 8-color Rotary Die Cutter alone would be considered a dynamic step forward, but Morrisette Packaging made the decision to invest in a second Koenig & Bauer machine - the Omega Magnus 230 Folder Gluer, also the first ever to be installed in North America. Complemented by both the single-pass Xeikon Ide- ra Digital Printer, an Elitron Digital Die Cutter, a Brausse Eterna Flat Bed Die Cutter, and a fully autonomous con-
Summit, NC facility. In collaboration with Höcker Polytech- nik, Kernic will deliver a 30,000 CFM, NFPA-compliant sys- tem designed for efficiency, safety, and plant cleanliness Morrisette’s leadership team expects to add 20 addi- tional employees to its payroll, which they consider very lean for a project of this scale. “This speaks to the sophis- tication of our equipment, as well as our material handling automation and conveyance system, which is just as so- phisticated as every other piece of machinery we’ve in- vested in,” he says. “We’ve heard operations of our size running with 50-60 people to do what we’ll be doing with a fraction of that, virtually ‘hands free.’ No one will touch the product coming off the machinery and conveyors until it is loaded onto our trucks for delivery.”
