Domino, SUN To Host Demos Of X630i Digital Corrugated Press Gurnee, Illinois based Domino Digital Printing has an- nounced a limited series of demonstrations of its X630i digital corrugated press, taking place at SUN Automation Group’s facility in Glen Arm, Maryland. These demos provide corrugated converters with the opportunity to learn more about how digital printing – and the Domino X630i digital corrugated press – fits into modern corrugated printing business models. Converters who embrace digital printing technology unlock measurable operational benefits. With increased uptime across mixed job schedules compared to analog printing and the flexibility to respond rapidly to design changes, including just-in-time production, converters can gain a decisive edge in today’s modern supply chains. Stephen Longmire, VP of Sales at Hughes Decorr, a Domino customer, details how digital printing has bene- fited the company and its customers: “The Domino X630i gives us the ability to offer high-quality, full-color digital printing directly on corrugated with minimal setup time. It allows us to help customers move faster, reduce invento- ry, and maintain strong brand consistency.” The Domino X630i digital corrugated press prints up to 75m/min, handles sheet sizes up to 1.6 x 3.0m, and can reach throughputs of around 4,500 sheets per hour.
Price Increases (CONT’D FROM PAGE 3)
with a large integrated company said of their company’s box demand. “Orders are very strong. Our box pricing in- creases will be near 100 percent implemented by July 1. Costs continue to be one of the biggest challenges.” “It’s been a very quick turnaround: We have higher demand and less inventory,” a large integrated container- board company official said. At the same time, some buyers and independent box- makers questioned the sustainability of continued price in- creases given broader economic uncertainty and concerns over consumer spending. First-quarter US box shipments declined 1.8 percent on an actual basis and 0.3 percent on an average week basis compared with first-quarter 2025 levels, according to Fibre Box Association (FBA) figures. “I think the June thing is irresponsible,” an Eastern box- maker proclaimed, regarding the second containerboard price increase for the North American market. “Business isn’t better this month than it was last month for me.” “We’re seeing some uproar for sure in the market, main- ly due to the fact that box pricing has been slow to move up after the March/April linerboard price increases. Most box plants are still nervous and do not want to lose a big customer,” another linerboard seller said. Still, several sources said higher manufacturing, freight, OCC, and fuel costs continue supporting producer efforts to push pricing higher.
