Cardbox Packaging Group is expanding its production capabilities at its Wolfsberg facility with the installation of a new Duopress 106 FCSB. Supplied by MK Masterwork, Heidelberg’s packaging partner, the new equipment is scheduled to be installed in early 2026.
The Duopress 106 FCSB is a multifunctional machine that integrates hot foil stamping, die cutting, stripping, and blanking into a single operation. Designed for high-end packaging applications, it is well suited for luxury goods such as confectionery, cosmetics, tobacco, and premium spirits. The new machine will complement Cardbox Packaging’s existing postpress infrastructure, which includes three Mastermatrix 106 CSB die cutters already in operation at the Wolfsberg site.
Chris Düringer, director of Cardbox Packaging Group, stated that the investment reflects the company’s commitment to enhancing efficiency and sustainability in its production process. “This addition strengthens our ability to respond flexibly to customer needs and aligns with our focus on premium packaging solutions,” he said.
Cardbox Packaging has increasingly relied on end-to-end systems from Heidelberg, using its Speedmaster sheetfed offset presses across multiple sites around the world. At the Wolfsberg location, these are integrated with advanced logistics and workflow technologies, including the Prinect system.
The new Duopress installation is part of an ongoing partnership between Cardbox Packaging, Heidelberg, and MK Masterwork. Heidelberg’s chief technology and sales officer, Dr David Schmedding, highlighted the strategic role of integrated postpress solutions. “This installation underscores our focus on providing customers with complete, efficient systems tailored for the evolving packaging market,” he said.
In parallel with the new equipment rollout, Heidelberg is marking its 175th anniversary by promoting a range of offers on postpress solutions from MK Masterwork. These include incentives for its Masterlogistic pallet conveyor systems and Diana Easy folder gluers, aimed at enhancing automation and reducing manual operations.
