GREEN BAY, WI—Paper Converting Machine Co (PCMC), part of Barry-Wehmiller, has announced the sale of a new Fusion C flexographic printing press to H.S. Crocker, which produces flexible packaging and labels, specializing in food, dairy and specialty printed-lid solutions. The 42-in., 10-color Fusion C, with two additional downstream print stations, will give H.S. Crocker flexibility with both front and backside print capabilities at its Huntley, IL, location later this year.
