A new thick stock option for Xerox’s iGen 5 120 Press opens a new range of application flexibility for print providers producing packaging, retail signs, brochures and business cards. The new option delivers the efficiencies of short runs where added substrate strength and rigidity is required, plus the flexibility of variable data on selected 18 to 24 point (458 to 610 micron) coated and uncoated stocks. All standard stocks and weights are supported as well.
Many of the most popular brands in these categories of stocks have already been tested by Xerox. Other xerographically-compatible stocks can be tested based on customer requirements. Additionally, selected stocks on the Xerox Tested Media List, up to 14.33 x 22.5, can be auto-duplexed.
Founded over 100 years ago in the small town of Fairbury, NE, McBattas Packaging started out as a newspaper company with a print and office supply store across the street. To keep up with the changing times, they reinvented themselves several times, most recently by propelling the business forward with its printing and packaging expertise. Thanks to Xerox’s thick stock capability, they are a leader in the short-run digital packaging market space.
