WHATS NEW - WINTER 2011
Winter 2011 |
We are now 7 weeks into the New Year and all indications are that the economy continues to improve. Sales in all business units are up over the same period last year.
The new 2011 catalog of stock designs has now been mailed and hopefully you have received your copy. If you need pictures of specific designs for your marketing materials they can be downloaded from our web site. If you have problems do not hesitate to call your sales representative for assistance.
If you are looking for savings on tins please look to our specials and reduced priced overstock tins on the web site as there maybe a savings on the exact design and size you need. There is a limited time on this offer. Click here to view discounted items.
Lithography and Pre Press
Every decorative tin must begin with art development and printing. High quality printing sets the standard for a high quality presentation.
Independent Can continues to invest in the printing and pre press processes.
1. Purchased and are installing the latest software for pre-press which will allow for us to out put designs and proofs faster and more accurately.
2. Sold all of our old technology printing systems and have set the standard for printing in the United States. We will only print on 4 and 6 color continuous grip printing lines allowing the highest resolution of printing and the fastest change over time of any equipment available in the world.
3. Ordered a new coating line to be installed in the fall of 2011 which will increase our coating speed by 20-30%, and our capacity by over 30%. This line will utilize 20-25% less energy then the older line, while providing the cleanest technology available today.

KBA Metal Print: Energy and Emissions Friendly
“In 2009 we (KBA) started to produce the HIGH-ECON oven for drying metal sheets with integrated air purification which only required 30% for both, drying and air purification that is needed for drying alone in the old systems. At the same time the emission of CO2 will be reduced by 70%.thus making environmental protection a cost effective pleasure.” (full article)
