British Columbia’s Glenmore shines even brighter 
after Eagle certification course


VANCOUVER—Eagle Systems, Inc., a U.S. based developer and manufacturer of foil enhancement equipment, announced on September 7, 2016 that Glenmore Custom Print + Packaging of Vancouver, B.C. has successfully completed its Eagle Cold Foil Certification Course (ECFC).

The comprehensive eight-hour program is not only geared towards improving production understanding and techniques of press operators, but incorporates the executive management level, ensuring that each Eagle Cold Foil user garners both higher quality and greater ROI (return on investment).

“We first installed our Eagle Cold Foil systems in June 2015 and it has lived up to every promise made by Eagle president Mike King. We’ve learned to not only respect Mike, but to trust him. When he suggested the class for our operation, we knew we would reap significant benefits,” notes Glenmore operations manager Stefan Congram.

Congram, a 15-year veteran of the commercial printing industry and the past eight years with Glenmore knows quality when he sees it.

“I come from quality operations and I know the difference between good-enough and customer-ecstatic quality. Eagle has not only made cold foil extremely successful in our production operation, but after only a year, has made it a critical component.
 
“In mid-July, Eagle conducted the ECFC at our Vancouver facility. It’s an understatement to say it’s thorough, but more importantly it’s effective. The press staffers now have an in-depth working knowledge and understanding of the cold foil process. Not just the what’s, as in what to do, but the why’s and how’s,” says Congram.

He sums up: “Our people are now as dialed in as our system is. We are reaping the rewards every single shift with faster make-readies and noticeable quality jumps. The class, as promised by Mike, was well worth the investment in time and resources. Eagle continues to prove that they’re indeed one manufacturer that cares enough to ensure we’re maximizing our capabilities and ROI with their system.”


About the Course
The course is conducted at the user’s production facility to ensure all real-world factors and influences are incorporated. Eagle has designed a unique test form, designed for failure, to run off each applicant’s system. The press is then finite-tweaked to maximize performance out of each operation’s adhesives, foils and blankets. One of the end results is the elimination of former process obstacles, such as pin-holing and mud cracking. Regardless of the previous experience level, the ECFC will yield significant business and Cold Foil performance advancements.
