J.S. McCarthy — Driving Out Costs, Waste

Other outlays in the company's seven-year, $14 million capex initiative have brought aboard an MBO Perfection folder with Navigator control, a Heidelberg ST450 stitcher, a Kodak Magnus platesetter, along with assorted foil stamping and diecutting gear. Advanced Equipment Sales pieced together a scrap retrieval and baling system for JSM, and the company recently completed a 36,000-square-foot addition to its facility. In the last year, J.S. McCarthy has also been making PANTONE and spot colors in-house, and has saved on ink costs, by using an Mx6 ink formulation dispenser from GFI Innovations.
