Valley Container, a family owned and operated corrugated sheet plant for specialty display and packaging solutions, continues its growth in the paper packaging space with the addition of the Durst Delta WT 250, a corrugated printer featuring eco-friendly Durst Water Technology. In business since 1969, Valley Container’s commitment to their clients and to sustainability make up the cornerstone to their success in the packaging industry.
“This machine fits well in our workflow as we see it as a complimentary piece for our extensive list of converting machines,” said Robert Niedermeier, General Manager, Valley Container. “The machine is very flexible in just about every way. Specifically, we’re able to slip sample runs in on existing sheets simply through the Durst Workflow software.”
Located in Bridgeport, CT, in their 120,000 square foot facility, Valley Container enjoys an extensive history in the packaging industry, going beyond standard corrugated applications offering: corrugated products, shipping boxes, paperboard products and the design and manufacturing of high-end graphic point of purchase displays. Valley Container’s dedication to providing this extensive range of services through their fully integrated packaging business is designed to meet their clients’ complete packaging and display needs.
Valley Container has partnered with Durst for their printing equipment needs, with the recent purchase and installation of the digital Durst Delta WT 250. The Delta WT 250 is a leading corrugated and display packaging print solution featuring eco-friendly Durst Water Technology. It is suited for a range of applications and offers the ability to produce high quality output in standard or custom sizes from a batch size of one.
“Valley’s digital choice began about 10 years ago, as we began investigating this new technology that we knew would be disruptive in our packaging industry,” said Niedermeier. “The first step was to vet the technology and really learn all about what it had to offer.
Once Valley Container had an idea of the digital corrugated printer landscape, they needed to decide on single-pass or multi-pass technology and with their unique footprint in the display world, multi-pass technology best fit their needs. In addition, to maintain their industry leading commitment to sustainability, Valley Container also researched an innovative solution for UV or water technology, while still being able to maintain the quality print they are known for.
“That was a no brainer for me, as I felt that Durst Water Technology inkset gave a better print quality without any of the inherent risks,” said Niedermeier. “Durst was by far the only water technology machinery company who had the best reputation in the market. The Delta WT 250 gives us the ability to provide a sustainable product with its water technology inkset, all the while, showcasing our creative capabilities to their highest levels.”
