After the COVID pandemic, BW Papersystems’ folding carton business faced new challenges, with the market becoming more segmented and requiring shorter orders and credit times. Fred Duquenne explains that BW Papersystems developed a new generation of the web-fed platen die cutter, to address these needs. The “Mercury,” ideal for food and beverage and general folding cartons like pharmaceutical and luxury packaging, offers significant advantages over traditional methods, including faster speeds and reduced raw material waste.

At Drupa, BW Papersystems will announce the new product line to meet customers’ evolving needs. The web-fed platen die cutter is not widely known outside North America but provides twice the speed of flatbed die cutters and impressive raw material savings. This technology is now ready for the European market.

“We’re launching the new generation machine “Mercury” with a very short make-ready time, designed for medium converters and folding carton plants, offering faster production and significant cost savings,” Fred Duquenne says.
