Succesful Commercial Printer in Las Vegas · Chris Casey · Creative Digital Printing
Why is it that some commercial printers experience declining revenue, and companies like Creative Digital Printing experience the opposite? In this interview with Chris Casey from Creative Digital Printing, he explains why his company is growing significantly. We visited Creative Digital Printing because the company, during CONNECT 2026, prints our INKISH MAGS, so we, of course, had to cover that. Turned out to be a learning experience, and a great afternoon understanding why this company experiences growth!
Christine Jones Harris · Principal, Corporate Development · Jones Healthcare Group
Visiting Jones Healthcare Group was a blast. Not only because of how they use their Koenig & Bauer presses, or the vast number of die-cutters, and folding/gluers from various vendors, but also because of visiting a company that has specialized in healthcare are set by very high requirements and safety point of view. Jones Healthcare is a global company with facilities in both the US and Europe. Besides the printing part, Jones Healthcare also develops packaging solutions for medicine, and if not enough, they also do the actual packaging of medicine. An amazing story about a family company that has a rather unique story, but watch and listen.
Embellishment done right! · Marcus Short, Richard Pacey & Jordan Pugh · Qualvis Print & Packaging
It's difficult to decide how to start this story. It's about a print and packaging company in Leicester investing in new technology. A new Koenig & Bauer press and a new folding/gluer, also from Koenig & Press. In a way, enough, but there is more to it, because the configuration of the printing press is as such unique, and as Richard Pacey explains, maybe the only one in the world. A seven-color with three coaters. But doesn't that lead to the more obvious question, why? And that's really the story. Qualvis is a print and packaging company that has specialized in high-end packaging. As we sit in the meeting room before the filming, tons of samples are placed on the table, and, of course, we look at them. Marcus Short asks us - so how do you think it's made? It looks like overprinted coldset, yet it has a different shine, and it's still the best option.
And here is what Qualvis has developed over the years. Instead of using cold foil, Qualvis has developed Q-lustre. It's a flexo-printed, reflective silver color, UV-dried, and ready to be overprinted, just like a cold foil. The result is a stunning print with a metalization that actually doesn't have any metalization, as we know. It's more sustainable because it doesn't use a foil carrier, the company claims, and customers like what they see.
Combined with a fast folding/gluer, the company's existing blue Koenig & Bauer Rapida press, and a few BOBST die-cutters, the company is well set for the future, and the three gentlemen we speak with are all game and ready.
This was a fun job!
