Another First for Color Spectrum Network

Marietta, Georgia – Color Spectrum Network (CSN) has added two new multi-function machines to complement their extensive capabilities. The two state-of-the-art machines, a Bobst SPanthera 106-LER embossing diecutter with blanking and a Bobst Mistral 110 A-2 CS folder-gluer equipped with the latest source tagging and CD insertion devices, mark the first time both of these new generation machines have been installed together in a single US plant.

The SPanthera 106-LER and the Mistral 110 A-2 CS will complement the capabilities of CSN’s existing diecutting and folding lines which include two other Bobst flatbed diecutters, SP 102-BMA Foilmaster®, a Media 100-II A-2 folder-gluer and an Alpina 110 A-3 folder-gluer with a Handypack II box packing machine.

“Having equipment that can support our business model is critical,” said Operations Manager Darryl Millsap. “When you are delivering the way we are, you don’t have time for a machine to be down. We need the best equipment and service the industry has to offer in order to do what we do.”

Color Spectrum Network is unique in the printing and folding carton marketplace because they manufacture extremely complex products with a guaranteed 7 day turn-around. “That’s seven calendar days not business days, from the time the order is placed until it’s on the customer’s dock” says CSN’s General Manager Roger Heil. “Our ideal customer is one who values quick turn-around time. Like us, they place a great value in not tying up money in inventory and work in process.”

“A very high percentage of our work is for software, hardware, sporting goods, pharmaceutical and cosmetic companies,” says CSN’s CEO and President Gil Bonilla. “As well as requiring creative packaging that provides greater visibility on the shelf, our customers are very security conscience. The value-added capabilities of our equipment allow us to provide a wide range of security and fulfillment services in addition to our extraordinary creative services. This combined with our ability to deal effectively with their highly time-sensitive schedules is a major factor in CSN getting and retaining many of our customers.”
