PackageOne Installs First MaxPro
PackageOne is a large independent corrugated manufacturer in Madera, Calif., that produces shipping containers, point-of-purchase displays and contract packaging solutions. As the company continues to expand in the competitive California marketplace it requires state-of-the-art converting technology to meet customer needs. In October, the sheet plant installed the first MaxPro鈩 set-up-while-run rotary diecutter from 成人大片 (BWP) and its brand MarquipWardUnited (MWU).
The servo controlled MaxPro is robust, durable and highly productive. Featuring modern and intuitive controls, the 66- x 128-inch fixed-frame machine is simple to run and easy to maintain with outstanding productivity. The set-up-while-run process allows PackageOne operators to run one order while setting up the next order to achieve exceptional efficiency.
