McLean Packaging Adds (CONT’D FROM PAGE 14)
In addition to running a wide gamut of substrates, McLean Packaging faces challenging demands for color quality and consistency from its high-end clients. “Our cus- tomers expect the best in regard to the color accuracy on every job, and the tools installed on the press are really crucial in ensuring that we’re meeting the requirements our customers set for us,” said Fenkel. McLean relies on Prinect Inpress Control 2 for exceptional color consisten- cy – the industry’s leading inline spectrophotometer that measures and controls color and registers on the fly at any speed, delivering the first measurable result in less than 60 sheets. By automating the color control process, sheets get up to color much faster at the beginning of each job than with McLean’s previous press. With the efficiencies it has gained in makereadies, the added run speed of the press, and easier changeover from job to job, McLean Packaging has been able to open capacity – enabling the company to take on new jobs. Almost a year after installation, McLean Packaging could not be more satisfied with its new Speedmaster press. “It’s proven that it’s the best machine we’ve ever seen. We’ll definitely be looking to Heidelberg again in the future,” said Fenkel. In addition to the high quality produced by the Speed- master, McLean Packaging has been impressed with the professionalism and level of support from Heidelberg’s SystemService team. “I’ve installed several presses from various manufacturers, and the install and start-up of this machine was so effortless and immediate. All of my oper- ators told me this is how all of Heidelberg’s installations go,” said Business Development Manager, Rob Watts. The installation was so smooth in fact that McLean started run- ning live production work mere weeks after the first parts for the machine hit the production floor. McLean Packaging also signed on for Heidelberg’s Pre- dictive Monitoring and Saphira Consumables when it pur- chased the XL 106. Predictive Monitoring actively sends alerts should there appear to be something wrong with the machine – stopping issues before they become larger problems. The machine has been running so reliably for the last 11 months, however, that McLean has yet to need the service. Established in 1961, McLean Packaging began as a small box manufacturing facility located outside of Phil- adelphia, Pennsylvania. Focusing on creating quality gift boxes for products like shirt sets, chocolate gifts, and greeting cards, the modest 8,000-square-foot facility was just the beginning of McLean’s packaging expertise. With a passion for creating quality packaging, McLean invest- ed in printing and gluing technology that is unique in the industry. Today, McLean is still privately owned by one of the founders and operates within three highly specialized manufacturing facilities exceeding 475,000-square-foot and over 200 employees.
