 Technigraph
was started in 1950 as a screen-printing company primarily
designing and screening point of purchase displays. In
1958, Technigraph was asked to print on glass bottles.
As a result, we built our first bottle press using wood,
nails and screws. It worked. From these small beginnings,
Technigraph developed a focus on personal care, cosmetic,
food, and industrial packaging. That focus continues today.
Regarded as a pioneer, Technigraph has a strong record
of developing solutions to industry challenges. We were
the first to successfully screen print UPC codes in the
early seventies. We have a long heritage of designing
and constructing custom presses as far back as 1958. We
decorated our first plastic containers in 1963, and only
ten years later, began to assemble production lines allowing
for eight colors to be applied in sequence. We began to
transition away from solvent-based inks to UV cured inks
in 1970, well before it became commonplace.
Our skill for developing custom equipment for unique applications
was tested in 1987, when we successfully designed equipment
and processes for the printing of magnetic media components.
These lines produced close to 400,000,000 parts quarterly
with a defect rate of less than 100 parts per million.

 We
developed effective inks and curing systems for OPET
based containers in 1991. The early nineties also saw
the addition of pressure sensitive labeling equipment,
automatic high speed roll stampers for closure decoration
and various fully automatic container presses with a
combined production capacity of 500,000 parts a day.
Some of these presses can be configured to apply up
to seven colors in-line.
 The
increase in capacity and customers required an addition
of 13,000 square feet of heated warehouse space in 1997,
bringing our plant total to 130,000 square feet. Custom
software, enhancing our ability to serve our growing
customer base was also put into service in 1997.
Our catalog of services has grown to include decoration
on jars, closures, tubes and bottles of varying shapes
and sizes. We can successfully decorate most any substrate,
including PET, HDPE, Soft Touch, Metals, glass, polypropelene,
nylon and more. Customers can choose between or combine
screen print, pressure sensitive labels, roll stamp,
pad print, frosts, textures, thermo chromatics, doming
effects and others.
Our history is one of innovation, creativity, craftsmanship
and service. This continues today and will continue
into the future.
