Glossop Cartons Orders Cutting & Creasing Machine

Published: February 04, 2013

YAVNE, ISRAEL | Glossop Cartons has confirmed the world’s first production order for a Highcon Euclid digital cutting and creasing machine that will enable it to offer customers faster speeds to market, greater flexibility, and cost savings on shorter runs.

The Highcon Euclid combines patent-pending DART technology to create the digital crease lines, with a unique high speed and high quality laser cutting solution. It does not require a conventional die, removing the time associated with die production and additional machine set-up. This enables greater versatility and flexibility to respond to customer needs, meet tighter deadlines, and deliver short- and medium-run length jobs profitability.

Mark Nixon of Conversion-UK Ltd., Highcon’s channel partner in the UK, who closed the deal with Glossop Cartons, said, “Glossop Cartons is an ideal candidate for the Highcon Euclid. It specializes in offering customers flexibility and service and the digital cutting and creasing capabilities of the Euclid will allow them to enhance their product offering and bring quality packages to the shelf even more rapidly.”

Glossop Cartons has a strong customer base of household names and a team with a reputation for quality and reliability built up over 30 years, who offer a unique service designed to suit customer requirements. Glossop Cartons will take delivery of the revolutionary solution in April 2013. As an early adopter of the Euclid, Highcon will be working closely with Glossop Cartons to unleash its potential.

Glossop Cartons will be exhibiting at the upcoming Packaging Innovations Show in Birmingham, UK, February 27-28. Visitors will be able to visit its stand A46 and find out more about Euclid. Visitors will also be able to hear Chris Baker, Highcon VP sales and business development, together with Jacky Sidebottom, director of Glossop Cartons, on Wednesday, February 27, in the PRINT INNOVATIONS Learn Shops Theatre, talking about digital finishing for folding cartons; the science behind the magic.
