to unlock the full potential of digital die cutting, ushering in a new era of efficiency and
innovation.
Upgrade to the Highcon Beam 2C: Highcon introduces an upgrade to the Beam 2C,
delivering up to 50% enhanced productivity when paired with the optional Beam Writer. This

particularly targeting point-of-sale (POS) and web-to-pack applications. By offering improved
productivity and versatility, the upgraded Beam 2C further solidifies Highcon's position as a
