Canadian printer Altro Industries has installed an HP Indigo 35K Digital Press to add to its position in the packaging industry, expand into new markets, and maintain agility in an increasingly competitive landscape. This investment enables the company to enter the folding carton market, complementing its existing offerings in labels, packaging tapes, and shrink sleeves. Previously, Altro Industries faced challenges sourcing folding cartons from vendors in Eastern Canada and the US, leading to high freight costs and exchange rate fluctuations. With the HP Indigo 35K, the company can now produce folding cartons locally, offering competitive pricing and significantly reducing delivery lead times. By eliminating reliance on distant suppliers, this investment not only resolves cost and logistical hurdles but also enhances Altro Industries’ ability to compete in the folding carton market with high-quality, locally produced solutions, with reduced freight costs and better lead times. The ability to print folding cartons without the need for print plates has further enhanced production efficiency, reducing reliance on external suppliers while allowing for faster, more agile responses to customer orders. With fast turnaround capabilities, the HP Indigo 35K enables Altro Industries to help clients remain competitive by reducing Minimum Order Quantities (MOQs) and providing quicker access to packaging solutions. This flexibility is empowering local businesses to stay agile and respond more effectively to market demands.
