PRINTING CARTONS

Printing fibre and corrugated paper boxes is a special branch of the paper box industry, and there are several printing presses of different makes designed particularly for this class of work. Many large buyers of fibre and corrugated paper boxes have advertising matter printed on the outside of the boxes, and in numerous instances, the printing is done in two or more different colors. The advantages of having advertising matter printed on the shipping containers are recognized by large manufacturers. For example, many of the corrugated containers used for holding tins and glass jars of smoking tobacco have attractive advertising matter printed on all four sides.

Langston Multi-color Printing Press for Shipping Containers.

Among the most efficient printing presses which are now in general service for printing fibre and corrugated shipping containers are the F. X. Hooper fibre printing press, made by the F. X. Hooper Co., Inc., of Glenarm, Md., and the Langston multi-color printing press, made by Samuel M. Langston Co., of Camden, N. J. Both of these machines are rotary presses and are capable of producing great quantities of work at high speed. The printing is done from electrotype plates which are attached to the printing cylinder of the press.
