McLean Packaging Adds Heidelberg Speedmaster
Moorestown, New Jersey based McLean Packaging, a provider of rig- id set boxes, folding cartons, corrugated displays and thermoformed packaging solutions for beauty, personal care and luxury products, has installed a Speedmaster XL 106-8+LYY-1+L with Push to Stop technology from Heidelberg at its New Jersey facility. Equipped with UV and Prinect Inpress Control 2, the new machine has helped to significantly stream- line production since its incorporation into McLean’s workflow.

Seeking to upgrade one of its older presses, McLean Packaging first considered the XL 106 after it was recommended by one of its press op- erators. “Our pressmen, who have worked on Heidelberg machines pre- viously, insisted that we take a look at the Speedmaster when we were making our next purchase,” said Joe Fenkel, CEO of McLean Packaging. Despite not having purchased from Heidelberg in over 50 years, Mc- Lean Packaging zeroed in on the Speedmaster XL 106 for three reasons: advanced automation and technology needed for shorter makereadies, flexibility to handle a wide range of substrates, and advanced technolo- gy like Prinect Inpress Control 2 for effortless color consistency. “Our market is driving more and more to be makeready efficient; run lengths aren’t that long anymore. We needed to get more efficient in our makeready, and we had the right options with Heidelberg to address those issues,” said Mike Pasciolla, Operations Manager. One of the key technologies aiding in McLean’s shorter makeready times is Intellistart 2, a unique integrated software system for effective job preparation, which greatly reduces the number of operating steps during a job change. Additionally, the XL 106 is equipped with AutoPlate Pro, a reliable and fully automatic plate change that controls precise plate feeding and identification for exact and fast registration at the start of each job. Servicing name brands from food to high-end cosmetics and per- fumes, McLean Packaging prints on a wide range of challenging sub- strates – from 80# text weight to 24pt. SBS to rigid plastics and metallic boards. “We’ll often run different jobs on multiple substrates in one shift, which would cause us some issues with job changeover on our older press. Now, we’re seamlessly transitioning from substrate to substrate. The XL 106 has proven that it can do a lot more than any other machine in the market,” said Pasciolla.
