Printers Across The Country Tout The Benefits Of Heidelberg’s Technology Innovation

Oracle Packaging Experiences “Flawless” Start-up with Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 105
Oracle Packaging gave itself an impressive housewarming gift when it expanded its operations in Winston-Salem, NC. In November, the company installed an elevated Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 105-8+LX press with Image Control to handle its paperboard packaging work. The XL 105 is the company’s first Heidelberg press and the first offset machine in its Winston-Salem pressroom. The $235 million company was searching for a high-end offset press to round out its printing process offerings when it selected the Heidelberg technology. Oracle also offers flexographic and gravure printing to its packaging customers. “We were on a very demanding time schedule,” says Jim Hummer, director of Manufacturing Services. “It was one of the most flawless press start-ups I’ve ever experienced.” Eight-year-old Oracle Packaging has 850 employees across five facilities located in Winston-Salem and Wilmington, N.C., Thomaston, Ga., Philadelpia, and Toledo, Ohio.
