Working with RM Machinery, Colbert Packaging Corporation announces the purchase of an RMGT 1060TP-LX 10-CC-LD+UV. The unique configuration of the press allows for multiple colors, coatings and cold foil enhancement inline. The new press is expected to be fully operational by spring of 2025.
Jobs requiring multiple colors, coatings and cold foils are now able to be produced on this press. Various types of specialty coatings and enhancements can take two or three passes on a traditional printing press. This press accomplishes complex and unique graphics, resulting in elegant packaging solutions customers look for today – in one pass.
Colbert President & COO John Lackner commented on the decision to invest saying, “We didn’t set out to purchase the longest RMGT press in North America. Rather, our decision was based on our relationships with our customers. We listened to their needs and this press will allow us more inline capabilities that reduce production bottlenecks and shorten lead times while offering customers many options.”
Colbert’s Kenosha, Wisconsin, facility produces offset and flexographic printed folding cartons, pressure-sensitive roll labels and package inserts.
