It can accommodate a wide variety of corrugated sheets, from ultra thin microflute, through to classic doublewall board and prints in the standard CMYK range, using water-based dye inks.

Durham wanted to offer more mass customisation, providing added value for retailers and brand owners catering for seasonal, event and theme-based packaging.

Mike Morris, managing director at Durham Box said: “The investment in to the digital equipment was key to staying ahead of our competitors. The benefits to our customers are boundless.  Removing the need to prepare traditional plates means the set-up time significantly decreases, which in turn leads to quicker turnaround times and increased cost effectiveness, as well as offering greater flexibility for design changes. It is ideal for jobs that require lower order quantities or that need multiple variations, and it can handle more complex imagery.”

Based in Bishop Auckland, Co Durham, Durham Box is a family-run box plant, supplying corrugated packaging solutions to an extensive customer base of over 450 companies.
