Pratt Industries has purchased an HP PageWide Corrugated Press to meet its customers’ growing demand for sustainable packaging and to offer more flexible and agile supply chains.
The robust HP PageWide roll-to-roll preprint press was installed at Pratt’s site in Lewisburg, Ohio in April and will enable increased, long-term value that will boost operational efficiency by providing greater order flexibility, more production agility and faster speed to market with offset print quality, while reducing waste and obsolescence. The new HP Press will help reduce the need for high-volume pre-print runs, helping to optimize inventory levels and reduce warehousing needs.
With a series of corrugating facilities strategically placed throughout the U.S. and Mexico, Pratt is committed to quality, service and innovation and dedicated to sustainable, performance-based packaging. “We are excited to add high speed digital printing to our graphics capabilities,” said Sergio Morales, General Manager, Pratt Lewisburg. “Digital printing increases our speed to market and flexibility while complementing our flexo and offset graphic offerings, allowing us to offer customers customized graphic solutions that fit their merchandising and supply chain needs.”
“We are pleased to have Pratt Industries express their confidence in HP’s technology by adopting our digital print solutions to transform the corrugated packaging supply chain. HP Corrugated Presses enable greater flexibility to respond to dynamic market trends, while enhancing sustainable packaging solutions,” said Ted Samotis, Director, Go-to-Market, HP PageWide Industrial Corrugated.
