Wisconsin Eagle/10331825

KENOSHA, Wis. - WisconsinEagle -- Colbert Packaging Corporation, colbertpkg.com a leading manufacturer of custom paperboard folding cartons, labels, and inserts, today announced the installation of the Company's fifth Eterna blanking die cutter. The Eterna Line ECUT 1060 Elite ER is the most recent addition to Colbert's folding carton die-cutting equipment in its Kenosha facility.

The Elite ER delivers precision-tight registration, high-performance cutting, and impressive throughput to produce exceptionally high-quality pharmaceutical and consumer goods packaging for Colbert's customers.

Colbert Packaging and the Brausse Group established a relationship more than ten years ago, as members of the Independent Carton Group (ICG). Colbert became a beta testing partner in the development of this equipment in 2015 as the first U.S.-based packaging supplier to implement Brausse (Eterna) equipment with blanking technology. Colbert subsequently invested in a second Brausse die cutter in 2018 and two more in 2022.

"Colbert Packaging has many options when it comes to choosing equipment suppliers, but ten years of hard work and collaboration have made this happen," said Brausse Group NA Vice President of Sales, Matthew Sharp. "We are grateful to Colbert for their continued trust and our relationship as a true partner."

In the spring of 2025, Colbert significantly increased its printing capacity with the installation of a new 10-Color RMGT printing press. The ensuing investment in an additional Eterna blanking die cutter will generate increased efficiencies to support the Company's greater folding carton production capability.

Colbert President John Lackner stated, "This decision reinforces our ongoing commitment to meet growing customer demand through capital investment. The performance of this Brausse equipment is top notch and these machines are set up for ease of operation and consistency across all of our die cutters. We are delighted that these continued investments support our business growth strategy and, more importantly, our ability to provide the highest quality packaging for our customers."
