Boehmer to Install manroland R908 HiPrint

Boehmer Box of Kitchener, Ontario, is scheduled to add an 8-colour, 56-inch manroland R908 HiPrint press in the late-June, early-July timeframe, as the company pushes deeper into high-end packaging applications.

“At Boehmer Box, our efforts are to exceed our customer’s current expectations and this is achieved by investing in the right technology, investing in our work force, and co-operation with our customers to ensure we meet their goals,” said Corey Deschamps, Director of Manufacturing at Boehmer Box.

Founded in 1874, Boehmer Box is housed in one of Canada’s most advanced folding carton manufacturing plants spanning over 320,000 square feet, which produces approximately 700 million cartons annually. The company provides a range of packaging manufacturing from full-scale production and shorter carton runs to product samples, and promotional or test market kits.

“Boehmer’s early adoption and continued use of an extended colour gamut technology will be further enhanced with the advanced colour control technology of the Manroland R900 series press,” said Karl Broderick, Vice-President of Sales at Boehmer Box. “It is imperative to have a press equipped with the most advanced color control technology, like the manroland R900 series press, with its ColorPilot Plus option, Boehmer now has the fastest, most efficient and user friendly color control system.”

The printing company also emphasizes its high-end finishing department, which includes a range of technology like multiple, high-speed Bobst die cutters, straight-line gluers equipped with auto packers and code readers, right-angle gluers with four- and six-corner features and auto-bottom capabilities, waxers capable of two-sided pattern waxing with high gloss finishing for frozen food packaging, and a windower/susceptor applicator

“With the addition of the HiPrint [manroland] press, Boehmer Box will reduce their lead-time and inventory, as well as add increased capacity for many years to come,” said Sean Springett, US & Canadian Marketing Manager for manroland Sheetfed.

Boehmer Box and board manufacturer, Strathcona Paper LP, make Canampac ULC, its Toronto-based parent company, one of the largest independent paperboard manufacturers specializing in private label food packaging.
