single, more efficient process. By wrapping the contents instead
of inserting, the potential for paper jams, work stoppage, and
production delays is eliminated. In addition, less paper is used
and postage costs are reduced by decreasing the weight of the
mailpiece.

Labelexpo Americas Returns to
Chicago
Goss International will be among the exhibitors at Labelexpo
Americas, September 9-11 in Rosemont, IL. Addressing the trend
towards shorter run lengths, Goss will illustrate how flexible
configurations featuring Sunday Vpak press technology can
deliver a compelling proposition for high-quality label and flex-
ible packaging applications.
"With the rise in SKUs, print runs that are too long for digital,
but too short for profitability are putting pressure on printers
and converters," explained Peter Walczak, Goss director of prod-
uct management for packaging presses. "Our web-offset solution
can turn marginal short-run jobs into sustainable, profitable
ones, with the advantage of plate and imaging costs that are a
fraction of those associated with flexo and gravure. Web-offset
also ensures far greater flexibility and control, and allows con-
verters to offer their customers later artwork deadlines."

PEOPLE IN THE NEWS
JIM COLTER has
retired as chairman
of Colter & Peterson.
He spent 59 years in
the printing industry,
starting his career in
1955. "When I first
started in the business,
there were over 4,000
binderies and printers
working in New York
City alone. You could
go door-to-door and
there would be three
or four machines broken in any shop that needed to be worked
on and fixed," recalled Colter, who remains a Queens resident.

"For a lot of printers, digital publishing
can be considered the enemy because
it takes away from printing."

Rods and Cones, page 24
