Goss lands Chicago Tribune Postpress Project

The Chicago Tribune picked Goss International Corp. to install six Magnapak packaging systems to upgrade its daily and TMC postpress operations.

Goss said it’s the largest single order ever for its packaging technology.

The paper is installing five systems, along with Omnizone control software, to handle daily preprint production at its downtown Freedom Center facility. The sixth Magnapak will be installed at Tribune Direct for selective packaging of the company’s TMC product for non-subscribers, Goss said.

The Freedom Center machines will enable the Tribune to allow targeting zoning of inserts to sub-ZIP code levels, said Tony Hunter, vice president of operations.

"We are investing in our preprint production capabilities to provide advertisers with several effective delivery options to meet their targeting needs," Hunter said.

Installation will begin in February. The project will wrap up in 2008, Goss said.
