Chicago Tribune Company Orders Six Goss Magnapak Packaging Systems

CHICAGO—December 11, 2006—One of the largest newspaper publishers in the United States has ordered six Goss Magnapak packaging systems to achieve advanced microzoning and selective inserting capabilities.

Chicago Tribune Company will install five high-capacity shaftless Magnapak systems along with Goss Omnizone supervisory controls for daily preprint production of the Chicago Tribune at its Freedom Center in Chicago. The technology will allow targeted zoning of the paper’s inserts down to sub-zip code levels. An additional Magnapak inserter at the Tribune Direct facility will provide selective packaging of the company’s total market coverage (TMC) product for non subscribers.
