Diamond Packaging Marks 100th Anniversary with Purchase of Second Custom-Configured Speedmaster XL 105 UV Press

Just in time for its 2011 centennial celebration, Diamond Packaging, a high-end printing and packaging company based in Rochester, N.Y., has installed its second state-of-the-art, 8-color Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 105 in a special double coating configuration with initial flexo dispersion coater, four modular deliveries, and full interdeck UV capability.

The company, which acquired its first Speedmaster XL 105 LYY-8+LYYL one year ago in a bid to attract additional package decorating business, has seen the market for complex, high-end work with inline finishing and specialty coatings take off over the past 12 months, as customers learned that Diamond had gained the capability to perform an impressive range of high-gloss applications with dispersion or other coatings, in addition to metallic, pearlescent and other special effects. more
