Eurographic Group in Poland stands out as a leader in graphic design and print, renowned for its digital capabilities. In April 2024, Highcon performed a field upgrade on Eurographic’s Highcon Beam 2 system transforming it into a Highcon Beam 3.
«We’re excited to be the first customer to receive the Productivity and Quality Boost Package that brings Beam 3 performance to our system. The surge in production per shift is poised to make a significant impact on our operations.»
“Faster setup is always a key in production. If we can setup faster, run better performance and produce 10-20% faster, it is key to the final business result, especially for the shorter orders we focus on. Produce faster and produce more. That’s why Beam 3 can be a very good solution.”
The BoxMaker, a U.S. leader in digitally produced packaging was the first converter to operate three Highcon systems. The company operates two Highcon Euclid 5C systems at its digital production facility in Kent, WA, and a Highcon Beam 2C system at its new state of-the-art digital production facility in Lowell, Arkansas.
«Our Highcons have been a success and are on track to meet our goals: a highly variable product mix, made on demand, and with less friction than traditional methods. We anticipate significant growth in production volume, and Highcon’s digital laser cutting technology will play a critical role in ensuring cost-effective and timely production, while delivering high-quality products to our customers.»
Linney, an international multi-channel marketing group headquartered in Mansfield, UK made a strategic investment in a Highcon Beam 2 digital die cutting solution in 2021.
«Our Beam 2 system has become a key element in our offering. In the most recent quarter (Q2 2023), we produced 999 Highcon jobs – the largest number for a quarter. This quarter, we have already produced 60% of the entire production volume of Q4 last year.»
Discussing the newly introduced Highcon Beam Writer, Linney commented:
«I’ve always believed that there is a place for an offline DART writing system. Although the current inline system works very well, the offline Beam Writer could save us 10 minutes, which equates to over 50 hours a month.«
In August 2022, Schumacher Packaging & Display in Breda, Netherlands, part of the German Schumacher Packaging Group—a leading European manufacturer specializing in customized corrugated packaging and solid board—installed a Highcon Beam 2C system. Schumacher’s website highlights their commitment to sustainability:
«As part of our journey toward climate neutrality, we aim to further digitalize our production processes. This commitment led us to install the first Beam 2C laser die cutter for corrugated packaging at our display plant in Breda. Highcon’s digital creasing and laser cutting technology offers high material and process efficiency, combined with innovative strength and positive environmental impact.»
In June 2024, DS Smith installed a Highcon Beam 3 system at its facility in France, marking the first deployment of this advanced technology worldwide.
«DS Smith is delighted to start a new partnership with Highcon. Innovation is in DS Smith’s DNA. The implementation of the Beam 3 laser cutting machine in one of the French sites is exciting. Through this project, DS Smith strengthens its positioning based on ‘value creation’ for its customers, innovation, and sustainable development.»
