TRG Installs First BHS Digital Preprint Press In U.S.

The Perfect Combo Get Peak Performance From Your Equipment with Matched Component Sets

Chicago, Illinois based TRG Packaging and Display Solu- tions has installed the BHS Jetliner Xceed digital preprint press, the first of its kind in the U.S. The Xceed is built to serve multiple converting loca- tions. By centralizing digital preprint production, TRG is extending advanced graphics capabilities across all 21 of its plants creating a more efficient and responsive system for customers. “This represents a significant step forward in what’s possible for corrugated packaging,” said Kevin Miller, CEO of TRG Packaging and Display Solutions. “Xceed allows us to deliver high-impact graphics at speeds and volumes that align with modern supply chains and expands those capabilities across our network. When you combine the potential of the Xceed and the new technology, with the dedication and innovation of our employees, we are highly confident our customers are going to experience innova- tion and flexibility that is unmatched.” Customers are demanding more flexibility in their pack- aging supply chain, with faster turnarounds, multi-SKU programs, frequent design refreshes, and the need for ag- ile printing solutions. Xceed’s digital preprint technology delivers variable data, serialized elements, and depend- able color consistency while cutting setup time and reduc- ing material waste compared with traditional plate-based methods. Unlike conventional approaches that require each plant to maintain its own high-graphic print capability, TRG’s model makes digital preprint a shared, centralized resource that supports its wider converting network. Dig- itally printed rolls and sheets can be produced centrally and routed as needed, enabling all facilities to handle high-graphic work. According to TRG, this approach boosts flexibility across the manufacturing system, helps balance work- loads, reduces redundancies, and improves the use of ad- vanced print assets. “This is about giving our customers more options with- out adding complexity at every plant,” Miller said. “We can extend high-graphic capability system-wide while main- taining speed and consistency.” TRG is quick to note that the Xceed is not meant to replace existing print technologies. Instead, the company remains print-agnostic, choosing the best process based on the needs of each job, including quality, speed, cost, and logistics. Beyond the technology, TRG says the real success of the Xceed initiative will come from its people, its opera- tional expertise, and its ability to execute across the net- work. With the right mix of team, strategy, and process, TRG is poised to deliver more than expanded capability; it’s opening the door to greater flexibility, more options for customers, and new opportunities for long-term growth.
