Just off Route 2 along the northern edge of Massachusetts are the past, present, and future of folding carton production. At Boutwell Owens, a folding carton printer and converter in the old New England mill town of Fitchburg, two massive Mitsubishi offset presses and some flatbed steel-rule diecutting machines of assorted vintages do much of the heavy lifting, while an HP Indigo 30000 and a new Highcon Euclid II digital cutting system take on a growing stream of short-run, fast-turn, prototyping and customized work.

No matter what type of press your company uses, getting the best possible print quality still comes down to operator skill. On flexographic presses, these abilities are something of an art form, while on a digital press they are more a matter of adherence to numerous specific procedures. But there’s much more going on—a litany of best practices that can make the difference between average output and work that makes your company a superstar. Let’s take a look.

Wilson Manufacturing, a leading supplier to the flexographic industry and pioneer in machine-sharpened dies, was recently profiled on the popular network television series "Manufacturing Marvels," a Fox Business Network program that introduces viewers to innovative and iconic American manufacturers and their products.

Driven by brand owner desires for lower costs, thinner substrates—some just 23 microns or thinner—have become increasingly common on the presses of many converters.

But thin materials can also pose difficulties for converters when it comes to diecutting and trimming.
