Highcon sold its first Beam into the US to All Packaging Company
The deal, announced at Drupa, follows UK-based Glossop Cartons becoming the first Beam beta site earlier in this year.
Ken Pepper, chief executive of All Packaging, said, “It has speeds of up to 5,000sph on B1 size, wider substrate range, and built-in scrap stripping capabilities. This will fit perfectly into our production workflows, and will open up new markets.”
Highcon also unveiled its web-to-pack store-front Axis at Drupa. The online ordering platform designed for on-demand digital packaging applications, is powered by Esko and XMPie uStore web-to-print technology. It is capable of online 3D previewing and editing. Switzerland-based LxBxH will beta test Highcon Axis.
Israel-based Ilan Print has been named as beta for the new B2 Highcon Pulse, which will ship in early 2017.
In India, Highcon is represented by Monotech Systems.
