Here are just some of the innovative packaging techniques we employ.

Cutting-Edge Windowing Machines to Enhance Your Product Display

Adding windows to your packaging gives consumers a sneak preview while inviting them to give your products further consideration. It helps them outshine shelf mates when most other items are concealed within more standard folding cartons. 

Oliver deploys advanced Kohmann Machines to deliver precise, clear windowing. 

Also known as window patching machines, this specialized equipment is designed with folding cartons and rigid boxes in mind. They offer some of the most cutting-edge printing and packaging technology in the industry and are manufactured by Kohmann, a German company founded in 1962 that has established itself as a world leader in carton-converting machinery.

Kohman machines can handle an extensive range of shapes and sizes, and pack quite a punch. Some Kohmann models, like the F1400-3 3-Lane Window Patcher, achieve speeds of up to 12,000 cycles per hour per lane. 

Folding & Gluing Solutions for Complex Packaging Designs

Every aspect of your folding carton design must be optimized, meaning, you need to be intentional with every facet, if you want to outsell peers in your industry. Every fold matters. 

Oliver’s sophisticated straight line and angle gluers unleash new possibilities.

Our straightline gluer’s auto bottom functionality eliminates the need for manual bottom folding, increasing print run efficiency. This makes them ideal for producing folding cartons with self-locking bottoms. 

Six-corner folding and gluing capabilities give you the flexibility to create unique packaging shapes that outperform your competitors on retail aisles. 

Efficient Sheeting With Many Laminating Options

Laminates and specialty coatings inculcate your folding cartons with added protection, as well as shine. Oliver’s peerless roll sheeters and film laminators make this enhanced durability and beauty possible, increasing your packaging’s resistance to moisture, dirt, and wear and extending the lifespan of printed materials. 

Glossy or matte finishes amplify your folding cartons’ visual appeal while striking colors brighten their appearance.

Oliver’s color quality is second to known, evidenced by several awarded certifications, including G7 Certification, a globally recognized standard that ensures consistent color quality in printing. Developed by the independent nonprofit Idealliance, G7 calibrates printing processes to achieve uniform color across different devices and materials.

Our packaging design projects benefit from the efficiency of the Heidelberg Speedmaster family of machines. For instance, the Speedmaster XL 106 can reach up to 18,000 sheets per hour, translating to lightning-fast turnaround times for your printing jobs. Its automatic plate changing and presetting systems minimize downtime between jobs, further boosting the productivity of your brand’s next printing and packaging project. 

Rigid Box Makers for Luxury Packaging

If you operate in the luxury brand space, then your packaging design must obtain the highest standards to outshine the competition. There’s no room for subpar work. 

Oliver uses Emmeci Rigid Box Machines to produce unparalleled packaging elegance, ranging from small "mignon" boxes to large luxury designs. 

In contrast with folding cartons, rigid boxes are built from thick paperboard and high-quality wrapping materials—ensuring they’re ready on arrival for brands like yours to use. Like folding cartons, these sturdy alternatives pair well with choice design elements such as foil stamping, debossing/embossing, laminates, spot UV printing, or other specialty techniques.

They’re well suited for high-end electronics, cosmetics, jewelry, and luxury goods; setup boxes transform packaging into a statement piece.

Reap the Benefits of Premium Die Cutting & Finishing

Precision. Efficiency. Versatility. 

These are the advantages brands enjoy when using Oliver’s premier die cutting presses—sharp, clean cuts and creases that intonate perfection. Their rapid output streamlines the production process and reduces turnaround times, increasing the time-sensitive product launches and high-volume production runs. 

Our die cutting presses excel at performing multiple functions, from cutting and creasing, to perforating, embossing, and kiss-cutting. No folding carton design is too complex for our presses (or our design specialists, for that matter), making Oliver a go-to for brands seeking hyper-customized folding carton designs. 

From small to gargantuan print runs, you can expect visual integrity across all production scales. (In fact, we prefer working with brands whose standards rival our own.)

Enjoy High-End Printing Capabilities With Oliver

Whether you’re after traditional (offset) or digital printing presses, Oliver maintains both throughout facilities across the United States (just one of the benefits of working with a domestic packaging supplier). Our presses offer you unrivaled color and UV capabilities that deliver vibrant, high-quality prints backed by a Pantone Certification. 

For instance, our Koenig & Bauer Rapida 145 57-inch seven-color press boasts advanced features including optical registration systems, automated plate-changing mechanisms, and inline quality control—ensuring high-precision printing with excellent color alignment and clarity.

Incorporating the latest printing technologies, the Rapida 145 reduces makeready times, achieves high production speeds, and features systems such as CleanTronic Synchro and DriveTronic PlateIdent.

Considered the gold standard in printing and packaging, Pantone Certification is a rigorous process whereby all of Oliver’s presses are tested for color accuracy and consistency. This assessment is applied to all printed materials. Every piece of our equipment is scrutinized, assuring that brand colors on folding cartons and printed marketing collateral hold up. 

With Oliver, you don’t have to worry about the integrity of your brand’s signature colors. We’re right there to help you steward your brand. We owe this excellence to our team of committed, savvy design specialists—with a lot of help from our pioneering printing and packaging design technology.
