Highcon announces that the first Highcon Euclid machine will be installed at a beta site at the converting company, Graphica Bezalel Ltd., in Yavne, Israel in February 2012.

The recently announced Highcon Euclid is an entirely digital cutting and creasing production machine for folded cartons. With jobs accepted from standard prepress software, the Euclid uses Highcon’s ‘Digital Adhesive Rule Technology’ (DART) to create the crease lines within minutes, with no need for traditional dies.

The Euclid is equipped with multiple lasers, along with new and innovative precision optics to cut cardboard sheets, delivering high quality on-demand cut and creased sheets with a format size up to 76cm X 106cm (30” X 42”).

Turnaround times are cut dramatically while run lengths up to 10,000 sheets become attractive and profitable for the converter.

Graphica Bezalel is a 66-year old family converting company that provides packaging solutions for many well-known international brands.  They see their key strength in their versatility and ability to print and convert a wide variety of substrates.

The Euclid will integrate smoothly with Graphica’s existing pre-media software and workflow, and is compatible with their existing high quality offset printing.
