Our investments in the latest metal lithography technology assure maximum visual quality and shelf appeal for our products. Customers’ projects are within our control from design to delivery. It all begins with great printing! That is why we took the bold step of becoming our own printer in 1990. Since then, we have added 4 and 6 color state-of-the-art printing lines, energy-efficient, high-speed coating equipment, and the latest pre-press and plate making technology. We have more capacity, capability and experience than any decorative packaging manufacturer in the country. Our plant in Vandalia, Ohio expanded our capacity for metal lithography houses our second 6-color MetalStar 2 printing line.
In the fall of 2022, Independent Can will be the only company operating the latest Metal Star 3, nine-color printing line in the Western Hemisphere. This is in addition to having two six-color and a four-color Metal Star two printing lines in Maryland and Ohio. The nine-color line gives the company unmatched, single pass capabilities for up to nine colors.
Near-photo quality, high-definition printing is made possible with 250 line screen capability. This is higher than industry standard. Concentric dot printing delivers vibrant color and clarity, using less ink than standard dot printing. Our fully integrated pre-press and plate making allows for a continuity of quality and control over timing. In 2013, we added the first in-line, full-sheet, vision inspection system in the country. Due to these advancements, we can offer the best lead-time and consistently repeatable superior print quality.
