“Small
papers are now getting the attention of advertisers,” said David George,
president of Profitpackaging. “We wanted to create a company to design and
make equipment suited for newspapers of today.”
Case
in point: Profitpackaging’s label, note and tabbing applicator. “This gives
small papers the same ability as larger metros to apply notes and labels either
online or offline,” George said.
Profitpackaging
built a 32,000-square-foot plant to assemble the applicator and related products
that include shuttle tables, conveyors and collator pockets and baggers.
George
said he’s already sold equipment to a number of newspapers, including the
Joplin (Mo.) Globe, the Olathe (Kan.) Daily News and the Daily Nonpareil in
Council Bluffs, Iowa.
