Virtual Packaging moves from prototypes to production with Highcon Beam

Highcon Systems Ltd., Yavne, Israel, announced the purchase of a Highcon Beam digital cutting and creasing machine manufactured by Texas-based Virtual Packaging.

Since 1996 Virtual Packaging has been providing shelf appeal consulting and packaging prototypes to a wide range of U.S. and International based clients. The company prides itself on first class customer service and competitive prices.

Monty Patterson, CEO of Virtual Packaging said, “Our customers have been more than happy with the prototypes we have supplied them and many of them have wanted us to continue to first production. To do that we realized that we needed to invest in digital technology. The Highcon Beam will allow us to produce the highly creative and distinctive prototypes and packaging required by our clients and to maintain rapid delivery without the time or costs involved in conventional die manufacture. We will also be installing a new digital press at our site making us the first all-digital B1 packaging site in North America.”
