Eight months ago, Colony Packaging & Machine made the biggest decision in its 53-year history by changing its name. Formerly known as Colony Paper, the new name better reflects how the family owned, third generation-run business has evolved since three war veterans opened the shop in 1964. Another key decision has since followed - the installation of a reconditioned 52-inch Lawson paper cutter with a Microcut® electronics package from Colter & Peterson in October.

La Papelera reaches new heights with BOBST equipment
In an increasingly competitive world, reducing costs, increasing production speed, lowering set-up times and striving for the finest quality are key factors for a company to position itself in the market. This applies particularly to Grupo La Papelera in Bolivia, a large-scale and long-established printing company for boxes and display materials with seven business divisions in the country. Its factory for corrugated cardboard in El Alto is sited in the Andes at 4,100 m above sea level, giving it the distinction of being the highest BOBST client in the world. Recently it extended its collection by two new highly automated BOBST machines, a 1228 NT five-color off-line flexo press and a MASTERCUT 2.1 cutting and creasing system. These are already allowing the company to increase productivity and expand their product range.
