Packaging company Buckeye Corrugated is installing key production equipment at its facility in Reno, Nevada, US, ahead of its grand opening in June.<\/p>\n

The work is being carried out in stages and covers a conveyor and unitiser system, die cutter infrastructure, a CAD table, a folder gluer and a multi-colour die cutter.<\/p>\n

The conveyor and unitiser system has already been deployed to manage the movement of materials and automate the bundling and stacking of completed output.<\/p>\n

Buckeye Corrugated said the system is expected to improve workflow, cut manual handling and support uniform product quality, with the result of shorter turnaround times.<\/p>\n

Preparations have also been completed for the die cutter, with pits readied before a three-colour die cutter is due to begin operation next month.<\/p>\n

The installation also includes two extra tracks for a possible later move to five-colour printing.<\/p>\n

According to the company, the equipment will be used for structural cutting in custom box formats, retail packaging and protective products, while also supporting printed output with fewer production stages.<\/p>\n

The CAD table will be used for structural design and prototype work, allowing packaging concepts to be developed and tested in less time.<\/p>\n

The J&L folder gluer is scheduled for installation on 1 May. The company said the machine will be used for folding and glueing corrugated components for more complex designs and larger production volumes.<\/p>\n

Buckeye Corrugated noted that placing design, manufacturing and finishing operations closer to major markets should help customers shorten lead times, reduce freight expenses, and limit supply chain complications.<\/p>\n

The business added that the move will also help enhance packaging flexibility for launches and promotions, as well as improve packaging performance through engineered and tested designs.<\/p>\n

Buckeye Corrugated enterprise sales vice-president Scott Fuselier said: \u201cEvery piece of equipment we\u2019re installing in Reno is focused on one goal \u2013 delivering better outcomes for our customers.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom faster prototyping to high-speed production and integrated printing, this facility is designed to help brands move faster, operate more efficiently, and compete more effectively in today\u2019s market on the West Coast.\u201d<\/p>\n
