B.C.-based Great Little Box installs HP Indigo 35K Digital Press

The Great Little Box Company (GLBC), Richmond, B.C., has invested in a new HP Indigo 35K Digital Press to expand folding carton production capacity.

The new press is operating at the Great Little Box Company & Ideon Packaging site in Richmond. Ideon Packaging is a folding carton specialist that GLBC acquired last year.

“We are continually investing in new technologies to bring the latest and greatest to our customers. Instead of investing in another offset press, we made a strategic decision to add capacity with HP Indigo digital. The Indigo solution will deliver production flexibility with offset matching quality – plus the bonus of digitally printing exact proofs for customers to sign off orders,” said Brad Tindall, president, GLBC.

GLBC will use its new HP Indigo 35K to support the packaging market in Western Canada and Washington State with high-quality, folding cartons, including customers in the frozen foods, snacks, beer and beverages, cosmetics and nutraceutical business. Some of GLBC’s customers have 100s of SKUs and GLBC plays a role in inventory management, according to Tindall.
