ASC Direct Expands Short-Run Packaging Capacity with Three AOPACK Box Making Machines

The U.K. packaging producer added a BM2508-Pro and BM1800-Mini after operating its first AOPACK machine since 2020

QINGDAO, Shandong and SHIPLEY, West Yorkshire, U.K., June 26, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — AOPACK Ltd., a manufacturer of corrugated box making machines, today announced that U.K. packaging producer ASC Direct is now operating three AOPACK machines to support its short-run, bespoke and custom-sized corrugated packaging production.

Three AOPACK box making machines (BM2508-Plus, BM2508-Pro and BM1800-Mini) operating at ASC Direct in the United Kingdom.
Photo caption: Three AOPACK box making machines (BM2508-Plus, BM2508-Pro and BM1800-Mini) operating at ASC Direct in the United Kingdom.

ASC Direct installed its first AOPACK BM2508-Plus in 2020. Following several years of production experience with the machine, the company ordered an additional BM2508-Pro and BM1800-Mini in 2025. The two new machines were commissioned in March 2026 through GTS Europe, AOPACK’s sales and service partner in the United Kingdom.

The expanded installation allows ASC Direct to assign different orders to the machine best suited to the required board size, box format and production quantity.

FROM ONE AOPACK MACHINE TO THREE

ASC Direct produces bespoke corrugated packaging for both customers ordering directly through its online system and customers purchasing corrugated cartons through traditional offline sales channels. Its online ordering system allows customers to configure custom-sized cardboard boxes in quantities ranging from 25 to 2,000 units. According to GTS Europe, more than 90 percent of these online orders are for quantities of 100 boxes or fewer.

This production profile requires frequent order changes, flexible box dimensions, efficient board utilization and careful control of labor and setup costs.

ASC Direct had already gained practical experience with its BM2508-Plus before investing in two additional AOPACK models.

The BM2508-Pro and BM1800-Mini were both added primarily to increase ASC Direct’s overall production capacity. The three AOPACK machines can produce a broad range of corrugated box styles, allowing the customer to distribute orders according to available capacity, board width, required functions, and production schedules.

In addition to increased capacity, the BM2508-Pro provides functions including cold gluing, QR code scanning and glue flap crushing, helping ASC Direct integrate more production steps into one coordinated workflow.

The BM1800-Mini also includes cold gluing and QR code scanning. It processes narrower corrugated sheets than the BM2508-Pro, but its compact footprint allows the customer to add production capacity while using less factory floor space.

FLEXIBLE CORRUGATED BOX PRODUCTION

AOPACK box making machines combine key corrugated converting processes within a programmable production workflow.

Depending on the machine model, configuration and required box style, these processes can include slitting, creasing, slotting, horizontal cutting, customized shape cutting, gluing and printing.

Operators can enter the required board dimensions and box specifications through the machine control interface, allowing the equipment to adjust for different production orders without requiring a traditional cutting die for each box size.

This approach is particularly useful for short-run production, where frequent size changes and small quantities can make conventional tooling and multi-stage production less economical.

The AOPACK box making production workflow helped ASC Direct reduce inefficiencies associated with its previous rotary slitter process for short-run orders. The machines can slit, score and cut corrugated board in one coordinated process while supporting a wide range of packaging formats.

“The significance of this project is the customer’s decision to invest again after several years of operating its first AOPACK machine in real production,” said Anna Qin, Sales Director at AOPACK Ltd. “The BM2508-Pro and BM1800-Mini increase ASC Direct’s overall production capacity while adding functions such as cold gluing and QR code scanning. The compact BM1800-Mini also allows the customer to expand production while using less factory floor space.”

AOPACK AFTER-SALES VISIT

An AOPACK after-sales manager recently visited ASC Direct to review the three machines in operation and learn more about the customer’s current production requirements.

The visit included discussions with ASC Direct regarding machine utilization, operator experience, routine maintenance, box applications and future production needs.

The visit also provided AOPACK with practical feedback about how the three machine models are being used together within the same production environment.

REPEAT INVESTMENT DEMONSTRATES LONG-TERM PRODUCTION VALUE

The ASC Direct project is more than a delivery of two new machines. It demonstrates how a customer can begin with one AOPACK box making machine, gain several years of production experience and then expand with additional models selected for different production requirements.

Together, the three machines provide additional production capacity for standard cases, bespoke cartons, smaller e-commerce boxes, and other customized corrugated packaging formats.

As West Coast Architect Fees Soar, Sierra Log and Timber Disrupts Custom Home Market with $950 Flat-Rate 3D Drafting Solution

CHICO, Calif., June 10, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — With West Coast architectural fees climbing to historic highs, standard residential design services are rapidly becoming cost-prohibitive for middle-class homebuilders. In a direct bid to dismantle this financial bottleneck, California-based manufacturer Sierra Log and Timber today announced the rollout of a flat-rate $950 custom 3D architectural drafting program available across its digital footprint at loghomefloorplans.shop.

Sierra Log and Timber LLC Model ADU1200/1670 ADU
Image caption: Model ADU1200/1670. A Red Cedar 6×10 timber design using the Smart Build Bonus System for the roof system enabling a 470 sq ft bonus room area. 1200 sq ft footprint with a 470 sq ft bonus loft = 1670 sq ft.

Traditionally, custom home planning requires a major upfront financial gamble. Standard regional architecture firms routinely charge between 8% to 15% of total projected construction costs—or demand $5,000 to $15,000 upfront – just to produce initial concept layout sketches. This financial barrier has left thousands of Western property owners locked out of the market, paralyzed by high interest rates and the fear of the unknown before they can even secure accurate local builder estimates.

“The traditional home design process is fundamentally broken for today’s economy,” said Larry Trimboli, founder of Sierra Log and Timber. “Homeowners shouldn’t have to risk $10,000 of their savings just to see if a house layout will fit their land or their budget. By utilizing our direct-from-the-mill digital drafting system, we are absorbing that upfront financial risk for our clients. For $950, we give them a hyper-realistic, code-viable 3D model that acts as their financial shield against construction cost inflation.”

Sierra Log and Timber’s new programmatic release completely rewrites the pre-construction timeline. For a flat fee of $950, property owners can submit their custom home ideas, site parameters, or raw sketches to an in-house drafting team. The company then develops a complete, fully customized 3D architectural study set from scratch, tailored perfectly to the client’s specific acreage or suburban parcel.

Crucially, these custom 3D design sets give buyers the exact asset they need to break the market freeze: total cost certainty. Instead of guessing at material and trade costs, clients can take their finished 3D study sets directly to local general contractors, subcontractors, and construction lenders to secure guaranteed, itemized bids before committing to a major long-term loan.

The flat-rate custom 3D design program is optimized specifically for the company’s core Western footprint, covering California, Oregon, Washington, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Colorado, and Montana. The program applies seamlessly across Sierra Log & Timber’s extensive engineering categories, including its premium solid Red Cedar log packages, modern heavy-timber frames, barndominiums, and the newly launched ADU 750 fee-exempt secondary dwelling series.

To ensure complete design flexibility, the flat rate includes full architectural revisions of windows, doors, interior partition walls, and rooflines to match local county zoning, snow load, and wind engineering requirements.

Property owners looking to bypass traditional architectural markups and lock down real pre-construction numbers can claim a custom 3D drafting slot directly at: https://loghomefloorplans.shop/.

ABOUT SIERRA LOG AND TIMBER:

Based in Chico, California, Sierra Log and Timber is a premier manufacturer of mill-direct solid Red Cedar log homes, cabins, barndominiums, and accessory dwelling units (ADUs), providing premium structural packages and advanced 3D digital drafting services nationwide.

KR WPC Launches ASA/PVC Co-Extruded WPC Line for High-Performance Outdoor Applications

Designed for commercial decks, cladding, and fencing in harsh climates, KR WPC's ASA/PVC co-extruded composites pair UV-and weather-resistant ASA capstock with a dimensionally stable PVC core - addressing the performance gaps that humble conventional WPC in demanding outdoor environments

XUANCHENG, China, May 4, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — As demand for durable, low-maintenance outdoor materials intensifies across commercial and residential construction, KR New Materials Co., Ltd. (KR WPC) is expanding its product portfolio with a new line of ASA/PVC co-extruded wood-plastic composite (WPC) solutions. The new range targets architects, landscape designers, contractors, and international distributors seeking outdoor materials that combine long-term weather resistance, structural stability, and minimal upkeep – without compromising on aesthetics.

ASA/PVC co-extruded WPC decking installation - high-resolution outdoor shot
Image caption: ASA/PVC co-extruded WPC decking installation – high-resolution outdoor shot.

Conventional WPC, while superior to natural timber in moisture and decay resistance, still carries a vulnerability rooted in its composition: wood fiber near the surface can absorb water over time, triggering microcracking, swelling, and gradual surface degradation in high-exposure installations. KR WPC’s ASA/PVC co-extruded approach addresses this at the structural level.

A Smarter Layered Architecture

Co-extrusion fuses two or more material layers during manufacturing – not glued on after the fact. In KR WPC’s new system, an ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) capstock forms the exposed outer surface, while a PVC-based core provides dimensional stability and moisture resistance underneath.

ASA is widely used in exterior plastic applications precisely because it resists UV degradation and weathering more effectively than many alternative thermoplastics – properties that make it a preferred material for window profiles, exterior cladding, and other high-exposure building components. When used as a cap layer in WPC, ASA absorbs the environmental stress that would otherwise act directly on the wood-polymer interior.

PVC, as the structural core, brings low moisture uptake and strong dimensional behavior – reducing the risk of warping, swelling, or gap formation over seasonal cycles. The result is a board that performs in fundamentally different conditions than standard single-body WPC: less surface fatigue, fewer maintenance interventions, and better retention of color and texture over time.

Weather Resistance in Practice

Outdoor weathering is rarely dramatic – it accumulates. Repeated UV exposure dulls surfaces; wet-dry cycles stress microstructures; grime bakes in rather than washing off. These processes don’t produce immediate failure, but they shorten the functional lifespan of lesser materials and drive-up cleaning and repair costs.

KR WPC’s ASA/PVC co-extruded boards are engineered to slow this trajectory. The ASA cap acts as a barrier layer, reducing water ingress into the core and limiting UV exposure to the wood-polymer interior. Field and laboratory evaluation work referenced in the broader exterior plastics sector supports the principle that a properly specified cap layer helps keep composite cores drier and less prone to surface weathering – a consideration that becomes particularly relevant in high-humidity climates, coastal installations, and commercial settings where downtime for maintenance is costly.

Durability and Maintenance Realities

“Low maintenance” claims in the outdoor materials space require scrutiny. The more accurate promise with co-extruded WPC is this: owners avoid the seasonal staining, sealing, and surface restoration cycles associated with natural timber. Day-to-day care is limited to sweeping and periodic washing with mild cleaners – provided spills are addressed within a reasonable window rather than left to set.

ASA capstock is positioned in the market as a hard-wearing exterior surface, and product data published by manufacturers of ASA-capped systems includes abrasion and hardness metrics that support durability claims in commercial use cases. For rooftop bars, pool surrounds, restaurant terraces, and public walkways – environments where surface failure becomes a maintenance line item – these characteristics carry direct operational significance.

Design Flexibility for Coordinated Projects

With the performance layer handled, design flexibility becomes a practical advantage. KR WPC’s co-extruded WPC is available across a broad color range, with embossed wood-grain, brushed, and smoother architectural textures. Importantly, the company supports color and texture matching across its decking, cladding, and fencing lines – a capability that matters for projects where multiple outdoor surfaces need to read as a cohesive system rather than a collection of unrelated materials.

Physical samples, technical documentation, and customization options – including color, texture, size, packaging, and branding – are available through KR WPC’s B2B sales and specification support process.

Commercial Procurement Discipline

KR WPC notes that customers specifying ASA/PVC co-extruded products should request cross-section verification, material breakdown documentation (capstock resin and core resin specifications), and third-party test reports as part of the submittal process. This aligns with broader industry practice of treating documentation readiness as a procurement requirement, particularly for international projects where material specifications are scrutinized at multiple stages.

Kappler’s 50th anniversary on April 1 is no joking matter

GUNTERSVILLE, Ala., April 1, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Protective apparel manufacturer Kappler®, Inc. marks its 50th anniversary on April 1, with a twist of corporate irony around the company’s April Fools’ founding date in 1976. As millions of emergency responders and safety professionals can attest, Kappler’s innovative chemical suits are no joking matter.

50 Years of Proven Protection logo -- Kappler, Inc.
Image caption: 50 Years of Proven Protection logo.

Based in Guntersville, Alabama, Kappler turns 50 as a technology leader that continues to redefine the concept of worker protection. From the company’s earliest hazmat suits to recent innovations for biological, fire retardant and thermal protection, Kappler has led a critical industry with unmatched quality and user training.

Founded by George Kappler Jr., the company is led today by President and CEO Laura Kappler-Roberts.

“In 1976 no one expected my father’s small company sewing disposable coveralls would evolve into a technology-based leader in life-saving apparel,” Kappler-Roberts said. “The company’s development of broad-based chemical protective fabrics literally redefined hazmat protection on a global basis.”

From six sewing machines and eight employees Kappler grew into a complex business that boasts almost 30 patents for composite fabrics, seaming techniques and other aspects of protective technology.

“Innovation is the backbone of the company. It is how we have survived and will be the key to thriving for the next 50 years,” Kappler-Roberts said.

Along with the innovative products themselves, Kappler also developed a reputation as the industry’s unmatched training expert. From ASTM testing methods to National Fire Protection Association chemical suit standards, Kappler developed user education programs and tools that made complex technical concepts easy to understand.

Kappler also developed HazMatch®, the first digital selection tool for protective clothing. Beyond suit type and size details, HazMatch provides extensive third-party chemical test results and other technical data that help users understand not just the suit but the hazard scenario itself. The platform is a tangible example of the company’s long-time tagline: “Know What You’re Getting Into.”

In reflecting on the company’s 50-year history, George Kappler recalled how they had to do a lot of pioneering work in the early days to explain exactly what the company did.

“We started saying ‘Kappler keeps bad stuff off people’ and that eventually became the company’s mission statement,” Kappler said.

“We make protection for people who do hazardous jobs. At the end of the day, when they put on our suit they’re putting their life in our hands. That’s a responsibility we take very seriously.”

SIOResin® Polyethyleneimine (PEI) Provides Multi-Industry Solutions for Global Markets

Wide Molecular Weight Range: From 300 to 70,000 for Every Industrial Need

PANYU, GD, China, March 3, 2026 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — SIOResin® Polyethylenimine (PEI) is gaining attention worldwide. It is a water-soluble polymer with a very high cationic charge. PEI comes in both linear and branched forms. Its unique structure allows it to bond with many materials. It can form hydrogen, ionic, and covalent bonds. This makes it versatile for a wide range of applications.

SIOResin Polyethyleneimine (PEI)
Photo caption: SIOResin® Polyethyleneimine (PEI).

The SIOResin® PEI series includes grades from low to high molecular weight. Products like PEI-06H, PEI-18H, PEI-10K, PEI-25K and PEI-70K cover different viscosities and functionalities. This allows formulators to select the right PEI for specific industrial needs. From adhesives and coatings to paper and water treatment, SIOResin® PEI improves performance and reliability.

Since specific applications may involve third-party patents or other intellectual property rights, users are responsible for conducting a comprehensive IP assessment for their target applications before selecting a product and determining its final use, to ensure that their activities are lawful. SIOResin assumes no liability for any intellectual property disputes arising from the use of our products.

STRONG ADHESION AND HIGH REACTIVITY

In the coatings and inks industry, PEI enhances adhesion on various substrates. Its high reactivity also helps water-based systems dry faster and resist water damage. A European coatings manufacturer said, “Using SIOResin® PEI improved our adhesion and film durability. We reduced rejects and improved product quality.”

In adhesives, PEI boosts cohesion and tack. PVC gel adhesives, water-based adhesives, and extrusion primers all benefit. PEI’s high cationic charge helps neutralize anionic substances. It also improves retention in paper and enhances resin performance. A paper mill in Southeast Asia reported, “SIOResin® PEI helped increase fiber retention and white-water clarity. Our process became more efficient.”

WIDE INDUSTRIAL APPLICATIONS

PEI also plays a role in water purification. It acts as a clarifier and coagulant. It can remove chlorine, aldehydes, and heavy metals. This makes it a reliable choice for industrial wastewater treatment.

Electroplating and metal treatment are other key applications. PEI adds brightness and smoothness to plating baths. It also protects metals during pickling and prevents corrosion. In textiles, PEI improves dye uptake, helps fix flame retardants, and enhances surface treatment of fibers.

SIOResin® PEI is designed to meet strict quality standards. It is stable under normal storage conditions and compatible with common industrial equipment. The series’ molecular weights and viscosities allow precise adaptation to each application.

RELIABLE AND COST-EFFECTIVE

CEO Mr. Wu emphasizes the company’s approach: “We focus on solving real industrial problems. Our PEI products are made to improve performance and simplify processes. We work closely with our clients to understand their challenges and deliver solutions that work.”

The SIOResin® PEI range is increasingly used in emerging applications. In biological and pharmaceutical industries, it serves as a carrier for enzyme and microbial immobilization. In petroleum, it aids in demulsification and filtration control. In antimicrobial and preservation uses, Ag–PEI and Cu–PEI complexes provide strong activity and excellent penetration.

Customers value SIOResin® PEI for its versatility and reliability. Its broad application across adhesives, coatings, paper, water treatment, and more makes it a strategic choice for manufacturers worldwide.

As industries look for polymers that combine performance, environmental compatibility, and adaptability, SIOResin® PEI stands out. Its multi-industry potential and proven results make it a trusted solution for global markets.

AVAILABILITY

SIOResin® PEI is available in 25kg packaging and offers a shelf life of 12 months when stored under appropriate conditions.

ViewTech’s expansive lineup of NDT visual inspection borescopes includes advanced dual– and triple-camera models, designed to help welders and inspectors quickly identify internal weld defects. With multiple camera angles, the VJ-3 and VJ-4 video borescopes provide comprehensive internal views that are difficult or impossible to achieve with the human eye.

The Inspection Expo & Conference will take place February 3–4 in Austin, Texas, at the Renaissance Austin Hotel, and is hosted by the American Welding Society (AWS) in partnership with the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). ViewTech will be exhibiting at Booth #505, where Sales Consultant Joel Greene will demonstrate the company’s latest video borescope technology throughout the event.

In addition, ViewTech invites attendees who are considering the purchase or replacement of a remote visual inspection borescope to take advantage of the company’s no-cost, no-obligation demo program. This onsite trial opportunity allows technicians, engineers, owners, and operators to evaluate the VJ-3 or VJ-4 video borescope firsthand—using their own equipment at their own facility—to ensure the solution meets their inspection needs.

About ViewTech Borescopes

ViewTech Borescopes, founded as RF System Lab in 2008, is North America’s top seller of video borescopes. Their first product, the VJ borescope, set a new standard for portability, ergonomics, and ease-of-use, with its industry-first mechanical, joystick-controlled articulation.

The VJ-3 and VJ-4 mechanical articulating video borescopes are nondestructive visual testing instruments used for the remote visual inspection of machinery, equipment, and components. With diameters as small as 0.85mm, the VJ-3 and VJ-4 facilitate the visual recording and photo documentation of an inspection and components in areas that are otherwise inaccessible or require great effort and expense to access directly. The VJ-3 and VJ-4 video borescopes consist of two modules integrated into one system: an insertion tube with distally mounted camera/LEDs and the base unit with control panel, LCD monitor, power source, and all necessary circuitry.
