    What's the best press for printing cartons?
    What should be looked out for when purchasing a 2nd hand press that will be used for printing thicker substrates?
    Is it advisable to purchase a press that is predominantly running paper jobs to run carton work?
    How fast can you actually run thicker substrates ( upto 600mic)?
    Do some presses have better non stop feeders or delivery than others?
    Budget of 3 million dollars
    Any input will be great.
    Cheers

    The best press for cartons is heidelberg and kba
    -heidelberg CX104 / XL 106
    -kba rapida 105 /106
    When purchasing second hand there is a lot of details to check , it s necessary to do that with qualified person so we can do that for you every where you can contact me on whatsapp +212700552467
    It s not advisable to to purchase a press that is predominately runing paper job because the quality of part and technologie is not the same also the hardness is not the same .
    With your budget you can purchase 4 good second hand heidelberg machines .
    With garanties

    You would best be served to find someone with first-hand experience printing on cartons (packaging). And preferably someone who has run more than one brand of machine, so they can provide you with a less biased/more knowledgeable opinion.

    I don’t know who that would be but I wish you good luck in finding them!
