Resource Label Acquires PLLC
Baldwin’s PREPAC “pre-impregnated” cloth rolls provide high ink and lint absorption capacity, so printers can achieve blanket-cleaning results that are 100 percent accurate and efficient with every ABC (automatic blanket cleaner) wash, according to the manufacturer. By replacing the dry cloth/solvent-dispensing wash system, for all ink applications, PREPAC re- portedly allows fast make readies. The conversion proved to deliver a faster wash, lowest start-up waste, less cloth consumption and cloth roll changes, longer blanket life and increased productivity. In September 2021, Westrock evaluated the met- rics of the conversion. Within a year, Westrock calcu- lated $100,000 in blanket savings, and an additional $13,000 in wash savings. Blanket and impression cylinder cleaning times were also reduced by more than 50 percent. WestRock is reportedly the second-largest packag- ing company in the United States and is one of the largest suppliers of packaging in the world. Found- ed in 2015 following the merger of MeadWestvaco and RockTenn, Westrock currently has more than 50,000 team members, in more than 300 locations, in 30 countries around the world.
