Computer-aided design

Have a packaging idea? Bring it to us. We'll use leading-edge computer-aided design (CAD) to transform it into reality.

At Longview, we can customize your CAD drawing to meet your specialized needs. We can do it. After all, getting it right is all in the details.

Computer-generated prototypes

See your display or package before it goes into production. We’ll submit the prototype, cut on our robotic Kongsberg sample table, for your approval..

Ink blending lab

Our in-house ink blending lab stores thousands of ink formulas. We provide “draw-downs” or ink swatches on the proper substrate for customer approval before press runs, and ink formulas can be shared among our plants. Having an ink blending lab on site reduces the downtime associated with waiting for ink from an outside vendor.

Longview’s fully automated, computer-controlled ink dispensing system also provides high-speed, one-shot dispensing of fluid ink colors from a central station. The result is exact reproduction of ink formulas with no mistakes. Don’t blend in. Put our ink blending lab to work for you.

Multiple test samples

Prototypes produced on our robotic sample table can be run in multiple-out configurations.
