Core products Bay Cities is now offering are Regular Slotted Container (RSC) boxes and Retail Ready Packaging. The investment in the Bobst 8.20 compliments Bay Cities investment in the state-of-the-art sheet feeder ENCORR. ENCORR is considered to be one of the most efficient, lowest carbon footprint manufacturer’s of custom sized corrugated sheets on the West Coast. Sheets from ENCORR are used to feed the Bobst 8.20.

The Bobst 8.20 is a flexo-folder-gluer with 4 colors and in-line die cutting, which can produce up to 24,000 boxes/hour. With the installation of the Bobst 8.20, Bay Cities is now able to offer customers:

• Time and cost-effective Industrial Packaging solutions
• Short turn-around times and the ability to quickly act on rush orders
• Just-in-Time management. Customers no longer will need to order large quantities and store on site.

“We are strongly committed to making lives for our customers as easy and efficient as possible. With the new Bobst 8.20, we will be able to not only offer different industrial packaging styles, we can deliver it quick and cost-effective.” said Greg Tucker, CEO / President of Bay Cities.
