the U.S. market. Indeed, the strategy in the U.S. is to pro- vide distinctive products, such as white coated paper and high-end printing. Ideal markets for these products include beverage and FMCG customers for national and global companies, such as P&G, Unilever, Amazon, Nestle, and Diageo, many of which Saica already has a relationship with in Europe. “We are targeting to have those customers here, but they want us to be bigger here,” Aragüés says.

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.
