Board Converting NEWS INTERNET DIRECTORY
Carlstadt, New Jersey based Agfa, a leader in imaging technology and digital printing solutions, has joined the Paperboard Packaging Council (PPC), the leading North American nonprofit association dedicated to converters of paperboard packaging and their suppliers. The move comes shortly after Agfa’s recent entry into the folding carton segment with the SpeedSet Orca – an emerging apex performer in digital folding carton printing in the form of a high-performance single-pass, water-based inkjet press. The Orca offers offset-like print quality and wide-ranging substrate compatibility, with a top speed of up to 11,000 B1 sheets per hour. Richard Cotterill, Head of Sales, Packaging at Agfa said: “Meaningful progress in the folding carton sector starts with open dialogue and a commitment to shared learning. Joining the PPC enables us to engage directly with con- verters to listen to the challenges they are facing and work together on solutions that bring tangible business value.” “As a PPC member, we look forward to sharing our in- sights and expertise from the SpeedSet Orca ecosystem and learning from converters about the evolving challeng- es and customer expectations they face. We are excited to collaborate with and contribute to the PPC community through our membership.”
