No-pack Blankets — Packing Their Troubles Away

At the St. Ives plant, similar results have been noted. Twenty-four hours a day, six/seven days a week, the facility runs high-circulation, high-profile magazines (Time and Newsweek) on its two Goss/Baker Perkins presses and two Heidelberg Harris M-1000 presses.

Quality Results
Larry Winn, pressroom operation manager, says that initially St. Ives was skeptical about no-pack blankets: "We knew that we could save time by not having to pack and we could eliminate our huge inventory of packing sheets, but we just weren't confident that we could get the quality we expected or the unit-to-unit consistency from press to press."
