The partnership recognizes CITO-SYSTEM GmbH as the preferred manufacturer for the new BOBST Essential Creasing Matrix, BOBST Patching Tape and the CITO FAST Rubber.

The Essential Creasing Matrix allows for high-quality creasing of folding carton, displays and corrugated packaging. It provides outstanding adhesion on the cutting plate and residue-free removal.

The BOBST Patching Tape is a proven product in the worldwide market for more than 6 years, with up to 16% more tape per-roll when compared to similar products; depending on the thickness.

The CITO FAST rubber profile is consistent with Bobst specifications and holds fast the material being cut at full machine speed. It is also available with the EasyFix adhesive giving the customer the option to eliminate super glue.

These CITO products as well as others, like the BLACK MAXX phenolic material for creasing counter plates, will be available through BOBST and Advanced Die Supplies.

“It is with great pleasure we are entering into a distribution agreement with CITO-SYSTEM GmbH, servicing the United States and Canada. We are looking forward to distributing the CITO range of high-quality products to our customers; converters and die-makers”, said Alex Gigon, Director Service Operations.

“Carton Craft Supply, Inc., an agent for CITO products for more than 26 years, is fully committed in supporting Bobst North America in this new partnership with CITO-System GmbH. By offering Essential matrix, BOBST customers will have access to high-quality products through their sales channels. Having strong partners like BOBST is critical when it comes to introducing new innovative consumable products into the market” says, Mark Doxtader, President and founder of CCS.
