Richmond, BC, Canada - Eagle Systems, Inc., a U.S. based developer and manufacturer of foil enhancement equipment, today announced that Glenmore Custom Print + Packaging has successfully completed their Eagle Cold Foil Certification Course (ECFC). The comprehensive 8-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.
 
“We first installed our Eagle Cold Foil systems in June 2015 and it’s lived up to every promise made by Eagle President Mike King. We’ve learned to not only respect Mike but trust him. When he suggested the class for our operation we knew we’d reap significant benefits,” notes Operations Manager, Stefan Congram.
 
Congram, a 15 year veteran of the commercial printing industry (the last eight with Glenmore), knows quality. “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, a critical component.”
 
“In mid-July, Eagle conducted the ECFC at our Richmond 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. 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.
