Platinum Press to Showcase New 266-Panel Outsert at INTERPHEX NYC

Increased Number of Panels Eliminates Need for Piggybacked Outserts, Reducing Production Time and Cost

Platinum Press – a leading supplier of healthcare packaging solutions for the pharmaceutical, medical device and animal care sectors that specializes in labels, folding cartons, blister packaging and printed literature – will showcase its new 266-Panel Outsert at INTERPHEX NYC Booth #3742, March 18-20 at the Jacobs K. Javits Center. The outsert allows for an expanded number of panels which, in turn, yields a significant increase in copy space for necessary product information and instructions. As a result, the need for a “twinsert,” or piggybacked outsert, often is eliminated.
 
Platinum Press’ 266-panel outsert is made possible through the company’s state-of-the-art Vijuk MV-11 Knife System, which folds printed sheets as large as 21” X 40” into outserts as small as 1 1/8” X 1 1/8” (1.125” X 1.125”) with as many as 266 panels. The result is a more compact printed component that increases production speeds and turnaround time while decreasing manufacturing costs.
 
The 266-panel outserts are, on average, 20% thinner than traditional outserts, leading to a sleeker product appearance and customer savings on production, storage and shipping costs. These thinner outserts are easier to handle both manually and mechanically. The 266-Fold Outserts easily fit into existing packaging solutions.
 
“Platinum Press’ new 266-Panel Outsert employs the latest machine technologies to create a labeling product that is both more attractive and cost-effective than its predecessors and current competitors,” said Andrew Vale, Sr. VP of Corporate Strategy & Development for Platinum Press. “There are obvious product packaging advantages to using a sole outsert in instances where, previously, two were needed.”
 
At INTERPHEX NYC, Platinum Press Inc. also will showcase a combined carton and insert whereby the insert is consolidated into the carton itself. A window on each carton makes inserts visible for quality assurance inspection. Since fewer overall packaging components are needed, the carton/insert combo significantly reduces manufacturing costs by increasing line speeds and diminishing machine downtime.
