​The Lithotype Company commissions first Contiweb Thallo web offset press in North America

​March 2018 - Lithotype Company, America’s trusted supplier for high-barrier printed roll stock and stand-up pouches, announced that it has successfully commissioned the first Contiweb Thallo press in North America. 

Established in 1963, Lithotype continues to invest in the latest technology to maintain their leadership position in print quality and quick turnaround times. Growing SKU counts and increasing graphics demands coupled with shorter lead times are increasingly becoming the norm within the markets we serve. The Thallo will provide our customers with exceptionally high print quality in combination with ultra-fast make-readies by utilizing a cost-effective sleeve-based web offset system. The Thallo now makes it possible for us to set up jobs in a matter of minutes and the system’s many waste-reducing features deliver an unmatched solution for both short and long run packaging jobs.

The new press is also equipped with environmentally friendly electron beam curing technology which greatly reduces the consumption of natural gas used in the production process. EB inks are 100% solid, which reduces VOCs to nearly zero.

The Thallo is fast and efficient, and now available for all of your flexible packaging projects.

​May 2017 - The Lithotype Company announces the launch of our latest flexo press in its Midwest facility located in Bolingbrook, IL.  The central impression press, manufactured by Uteco, will allow Lithotype to expand our product and service offerings to include 10-color wide web printing, high quality graphic reproduction, and ultra-quick changeovers.

Our new press is highly configurable and allows us to serve our clients better than ever before.  The 51-inch wide gearless, sleeved press features auto-registration, speedy set-ups and an innovative ink management system, all of which drive efficiencies while adding plant capacity. We have also added a new solventless laminating line to complement the new wide web press platform.  These two new technologies will contribute to our ‘lean environment’, which aims to significantly reduce waste while creating new opportunities for our customers.

The Lithotype Company, established in 1963, continues to invest in the latest technology and maintains focus on high quality standards. The advanced printing and converting technologies found in the Uteco platform are well aligned with our customers’ needs.  Growing SKU counts and increasing graphics demands coupled with shorter lead times are increasingly becoming the norm within the markets we serve. 

Lithotype’s commitment to product safety is unrivaled. Lithotype received a superior rating (AA) across our two manufacturing facilities from the British Retail Consortium. It was a result of employee dedication and continuous improvement initiatives, implemented in our manufacturing facilities in South San Francisco and Chicago.  BRC is recognized as a global standard for benchmarking Global Food Safety Initiatives in over 130 countries.
