VERSATILE DIE CUTTING CAPABILITIES

Atlantic die cutting capabilities at our Dominican Republic facility include four 40” pattern die cutters that are used for the fruit and vegetable industry. We also have a pattern die cutter used for medical foam that we keep in a controlled environment so as to administer more stringent controls over the product. In addition, we have clam shell die cutters for foam converting and chipboard corrugated converting. Our die cutters provide opportunities to serve a wider variety of our customers’ needs within our converting operations. From folding cartons to foam, corrugated, and sheets, we are able to provide the precise packaging products our customers require with our versatile die cutting capabilities.

LOCAL SUPPLY SOURCE FOR CORES

Atlantic is proud to be the only packaging enterprise in the Dominican Republic Free Trade Zone that can offer services and materials from core tube winding equipment. By investing in core tube winders and creating a local supply source, Atlantic was able to eliminate added time and cost for our customers who were previously reaching out to the states for these products. In the first four years of Atlantic Caribbean, we expanded our core tube operations by 300% with plans to continue growing that business by adding additional, different core machines. This allows us to produce a wide range of cores to be used in plastics, plastic extrusion, label markets, textiles, and other core operations.

CUSTOM SHEETING

Sheeting is one of our core capabilities in the converting operations at Atlantic Caribbean. We have a 65” sheeter and two 55” paper guillotines used for chipboard converting to serve the textiles and medical appliance industries. We can provide our customers with custom sheets of various grades and substrates for slip sheets, layer sheets and other paper sheeting needs. Custom sheeting also provides us with an integral piece for making custom die cut products in-house, such as folding cartons and trays. Our capabilities in sheeting provide unlimited opportunities to serve our customers with precision and quality when it comes to our paper converting operations.
