3C Packaging Installs Cutting-Edge Technology to Better Serve Expanding Needs of Pharma Customers

CLAYTON, NC - In response to customers' growing demands for the inclusion of additional product information in their smaller packages, 3C Packaging, an independent privately-owned packaging solutions company, recently upgraded its Vijuk MV 2011 Outsert System with a special knife that allows for the folding of outserts with up to 210 panels. The machine is one of the first in the U.S. with this capability.

The innovative Vijuk Outsert System is capable of folding both inserts and outserts, allowing 3C customers to add flexibility to print a large number of panels for end-user instructions.

In addition to folding up to 210 panels, the MV 2011 also allows 3C to offer its customers folded outserts with finished, folded sizes as small as 1 1/4 by 1 1/4 inches. It also has a water scoring feature, which drops a series of tiny water dots to soften fibers in the paper, allowing 3C to reduce the thickness of outserts and inserts by 13-18%. This enables 3C to put more leaflets in customer trays, so that customers need less storage and don't have to change the tray as frequently.

"We remain committed to delivering smart packaging solutions and top quality service to our customers," said Joe Elphick, President and CEO of 3C. "For some time now, the MV 2011 has furthered our ability to live up to our promise to our customers and this recent upgrade will be no exception. The new capabilities of this machine will strengthen our position as a company that stands for innovation and efficiency. We are proud to offer such advanced technology."
