Hammer Packaging has ordered its third Saber XXL paper cutter from Colter & Peterson, and the custom 75” machine is expected to be delivered and installed in early March.
Larry Ockenden, finishing operations manager at Hammer, said the new unit will join two other Saber paper cutters the company has purchased from C&P in the last five years. This includes a similar size 75” machine and a smaller one measuring 62”.
Hammer Packaging, a Rochester Top 100 company founded in 1912, uses the Sabers to trim sheets produced on its KBA large format 7- and 8-color roll-to-sheet presses. Most of the higher volume work is printed labels and package decoration for the global food and beverage, horticulture and household products clientele.
“Our relationship with Colter & Peterson goes back many years. They have always been very responsive and help us with technical support over the telephone whenever we’ve needed it,” says Ockenden, who has run the label finishing department at Hammer since 1982. “We are very pleased with our current Saber cutters. I’m impressed with the automatic knife changing feature on the machine, and our operators are very familiar with its capabilities.”
