About Cabling Installation & Maintenance:

Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals.

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on:

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Colbert Packaging Expands Capacity with New G&K-Vijuk Equipment

Outsert folder and tabber tackle complex pharmaceutical inserts/outserts
with patented folding procedures


KENOSHA, Wis. - Nov. 10, 2021 - PRLog -- Colbert Packaging Corporation­­ (colbertpkg.com), a paperboard packaging manufacturer, announces expanded capacity for pharmaceutical and consumer customers with the purchase of three new pieces of G&K-Vijuk equipment: an outsert folding system (MV-11 and MV-X10); a flat pile feeder; and a tabber (Sigma). Colbert Packaging is one of less than 20 companies in North America authorized to use G&K-Vijuk patented systems.

Customer Benefits

Today's high speed packaging lines require an outsert solution that won't jam up and interrupt production.  G&K-Vijuk outsert folding systems are for the production of RTA (right-turn-angle) cross-folded outserts. Outserts, which have become the standard for providing information in the pharmaceutical industry, are leaflets that are folded to a small size and secured to form closed leaflets which will not spring open during packaging operations or while affixed directly onto product containers. The tabber complements Colbert's secondary packaging capabilities, bringing more specialty packaging functions under one roof, an added benefit to stringent customer audit requirements.

"Specialty folds are important to our pharma customers, and the new Vijuk machinery will enable us to more efficiently increase our volume," said Kenosha Production Manager, Pat Gibbons.

G&K–Vijuk International Corporation, with over 30 patents worldwide, is an industry leader in providing insert/outsert leaflet folding equipment for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and small-items packaging markets.

Strategic Timing

"Pharmaceutical packaging, with its complex folds and specifications, is in greater demand than ever before," said G&K-Vijuk Sales Manager Kevin Boivin. "Some companies have taken a 'wait and see' posture regarding capital equipment investments in 2021, whereas Colbert took a calculated, aggressive approach." He added, "As a family-owned corporation, they can be more nimble when the time is right."

In response to escalating customer demand, these and other recent equipment acquisitions have increased manufacturing capacity for Colbert's Kenosha, WI and Elkhart, IN locations, all the while maintaining quality assurance. Colbert now offers 100% vision inspection capabilities, enabling defect detection without affecting the production run, an important distinction for pharmaceutical and consumer paperboard packaging customers.

"When customers visit," Gibbons continued, "the first comment we get is usually about how immaculate our facilities are, and second, how new the equipment looks. While Colbert has been steadily investing in new equipment, it's also true that we take pride in maintaining all of our machinery in pristine condition."

Colbert Packaging Corporation is a family-owned business with extensive R&D capabilities and a solid reputation for excellence. Founded in 1959, Colbert Packaging has grown its repertoire of paperboard packaging solutions into one of the most comprehensive, diverse and inventive portfolios in the industry. Colbert's Kenosha, Wisconsin facility produces offset and flexographic printed folding cartons, pressure-sensitive roll labels and package inserts; the Elkhart, Indiana operation includes folding carton production and paper tray forming.
