OVERWRAPS PREPRESS DEPARTMENT IS REDUCING!

Thanks to MacDermid Graphics Solutions and the installment of our new ESKO technology that efficiently integrates imaging and exposure functions, we are in the process of reducing manual steps in the plate making process. In addition to time and labor, the new system helps us to reduce costly material waste.

We are so fortunate to have associates like Cecilio Martinez who will soon celebrate 30 years with the company. His work is exemplary and his commitment to the success of Overwraps is second to none. If you ask him how he learned the skills to be an pressman, he will tell you it was on-the-job training one day at a time. He likes the technological changes through the years. “No more pulling chains and messing with old gears,” he says. Thank you, Mr. Martinez for your invaluable service, and congratulations on celebrating 3 decades with our company!

Overwraps Family Holiday Party
After a two year hiatus in protecting against the spread of Covid, the family holiday party returned to Overwraps. It was a special time whereby the company suspended operations in its main warehouse to make way for games, music, train rides with Santa, raffles, and a delicious lunch buffet that was enjoyed by all. All associates were invited to bring their families to celebrate the upcoming holidays, and renew our special relationship as one big company family.
