Highcon develops, markets, sells and supports digital die cutting systems for carton board and corrugated covering a broad range of substrates and applications, primarily in packaging and in Point-of-Sale displays. Digital die cutting complements traditional analog die cutting systems, enabling faster job turnaround times, more affordable production of small batches, greater design freedom and enhanced sustainability. Highcon’s customers include the world’s top converters as well as family-owned businesses and are concentrated in Western Europe and North America.
Responding to a global market with continuously growing demand for smaller production batch sizes, faster delivery, increased sustainability and enhanced customer experience, the company’s new portfolio accelerates Highcon’s strategy of mainstreaming digital die cutting by focusing on productivity, efficiency and quality. The new portfolio line-up includes:
– For Folding Carton, the Highcon Beam 3 with optional new Beam Writer for offline writing of DART foils, will allow customers to produce around 50% more per shift than with Beam 2 – while delivering higher and more consistent quality .
– For Corrugated Packaging and Display:
o The Vulcan1, a revolutionary next-generation system with 1.4 x 1.7 (55” x 66”) sheet size, still under development, will enable the full benefits of digital die cutting to mainstream corrugated production.
o An upgrade to the Highcon Beam 2C that delivers up to 50% enhanced productivity when paired with the optional Beam Writer and facilitates the expansion of Highcon’s footprint in the short- and medium-run corrugated market – especially for POS and web-to-pack.
