Corrugated Synergies International (CSI) has ordered a second Highcon Euclid IIIC digital cutting and creasing machine, six months after the installation of its first.

At the company’s Visual Impact PrePrint (VIP) facility, located in Santa Teresa, New Mexico, the Euclid IIIC has been working alongside EFI Nozomi digital single-pass presses in a multiple shift production mode. VIP, the digital division of CSI, has three EFI Nozomi C18000 single-pass LED inkjet presses. The second and third were ordered earlier this year after success with the first.

Highcon noted that with the steady growth of e-commerce and the ensuing requirement for packaging that can handle the hazards of direct-to-consumer shipping, there is a fast growing need for packaging designed specifically for e-commerce, removing the need for boxes within boxes and at the same time reducing shipping costs. 

‘Digital finishing for corrugated answers the consumer’s requirements for a positive unpacking experience, both structurally and visually, and the brand’s ability to deliver their messaging,’ stated Highcon.
