Sheboygan Paper Box Installs New BW Papersystems SheetRunner Sheboygan, Wisconsin based Sheboygan Paper Box Com- pany has confirmed it has more than doubled its sheeting capacity to provide faster time-to-market times for folding cartons by installing a new SheetRunner sheeter from BW Papersystems. “In today’s world of supply-chain hiccups, the custom folding-carton and paperboard packaging industry has ex- perienced its share of capacity issues,” says Scott Monnot, Vice President and General Manager, SPBCo. “Manufacturers of products that go into folding cartons have been forced into more-proactive planning to offset longer lead-times at carton converters. Bottlenecks can be found at all stages of the process: from sheeting, to print- ing, to die-cutting, to finishing. “At SPBCo, we’ve been fortunate to have world-class partnerships which allow us to keep pace with custom- er demands for more paperboard and ultimately, more folding cartons. Demand is definitely up. There’s always more to be done to open-up capacity throughout the fold- ing-carton converting process.” Monnot said the new installation will allow faster, more-automated sheeting of board stock, delivering flatter final sheets as a result of BW’s multiple de-curl systems — including the Three Bar bi-directional de-curler.
