CARTON BUSINESS UNIT

The carton business unit is an integral part of the manufacturing facilities at Packages. Constant improvements in technology help our customers exert exact control over each stage of the manufacturing process. Our customized packaging and consistent quality give all our cartons superior shelf visibility.

The foundations of this business line were laid about 50 years ago with the formation of the offset printing department. Carton Business Unit production experts work closely with pre-press and technical staff to deliver a durable, aesthetically pleasing and technically sound package to the customer.

The total board consumption of the carton line is around 18 - 20 thousand tonnes per annum. The strong backward integration within the Packages value chain has given the carton line a competitive edge in terms of backend material availability. Prompt material availability reduces turn around time and ensures timely delivery.

TECHNICAL EXPERTISE
The Carton Business Unit's technical competence is reflected through two modes of printing: offset and rotogravure. The former is a high end tool for more complex design themes while the latter consistently services high volume orders. Packages expanded the line through installation of a new Lemanic rotogravure printing and inline cutting creasing machine in the year 2000.

New lines have been introduced with the addition of a Roland 700 double coater in the Offset Printing department, a Bobst Evoline in the Cutting and Creasing and a Bobst Media 100 in the Folding and Gluing departments. The state-of-the-art Roland 700 with twin coating has enabled Packages to introduce innovative printing with special effect coating and gold coatings.

The commissioning of the new in-house CIM Line has made advanced counter milling, laser cutting, and blade bending machines available for high quality die making. Customers can now take advantage of even higher precision and consistency in cutting and creasing.
