Texas Monochrome Revolution: StarCorr Sheets Debuts World’s First BHS Jetliner in Full Production

Temple, Texas — You walk into StarCorr Sheets LLC, and the first thing you notice isn’t the hum of corrugators — it’s the crisp rhythm of something new: The BHS Jetliner Monochrome. The first system of its kind anywhere on Earth. Installed. Running. Delivering.

Craig Fisher

This milestone installation marks a major leap for StarCorr Sheets, a leading North American sheet feeder and proud member of the Corrugated Partners Group (CPG), which is owned by Schwarz Partners Group.

And as Craig Fisher, President of the Corrugated Partners Group, puts it bluntly:

“This isn’t just another machine. This is a revolution for sheet feeders like us. And we’re the first to prove it works.”

Why Monochrome? Why Now?

StarCorr Sheets isn’t some small-town box shop. With over three high-output corrugators running around the clock, they feed sheets to dozens of converters across Texas and beyond.

Their lineup includes everything from RSC blanks to custom die-cut sheets for the biggest names in retail packaging.

So why would a sheet feeder — whose job has always been to crank out plain kraft and white sheets — invest in high-end digital printing?

Craig doesn’t hesitate:

“One word: Value. We’re now able to print barcodes, QR codes, tracking data directly on the sheet, inline, in real-time — without slowing down. That means our customers don’t need an extra converting step. And for some, that’s a game-changer.”

Monochrome at Full Speed

The BHS Jetliner Monochrome isn’t a slow poster printer pretending to be industrial.

It’s fully integrated into the corrugator — producing up to 350 linear meters per minute of digitally preprinted corrugated board. One color, yes. But when that color is applied to variable data, logistics codes, or security markings, the impact is huge.

“We’re talking millions of sheets per month,” Craig notes. “And no plates, no setup waste.”

StarCorr has already surpassed the 1 million sheet milestone printed with the Jetliner Monochrome — and that’s just the first few months.

From Brown Sheets to Smart Sheets

Why is this so important for sheet feeders? Craig explains:

“If you’re in the sheet business today, you know customers want flexibility. Yesterday it was just plain brown board. Today it’s smart packaging: tracking codes, customer engagement, anti-counterfeiting.”

Connected through BHS Corrugated’s PackSuite Workflow and Printer Control Center (PCC), the Jetliner Monochrome allows StarCorr to manage jobs digitally — no guessing, no manual setups.

“That’s what makes it revolutionary,” Craig adds. “We can run from job to job with zero downtime. Sheet feeders are no longer just ‘commodity suppliers’ — we’re part of the smart packaging supply chain.”

Final Word from Craig Fisher

As our quick-fire chat wraps up, Craig leans against the control panel and sums it up:

“In this business, staying ahead means investing smart. BHS gave us a tool no one else has — yet. And we’re already seeing the payoff.”

“If Mark Twain were here,” Craig laughs, “he’d probably call it ‘printing plain talk onto plain board.’ But that plain talk is worth a lot of money these days.”

Delays appeared. Questions multiplied. Trucks waited. Installation teams stood idle. Production schedules slipped. And every extra day cost money. Over many years of work and experience, we understand a simple truth: machinery relocation should not be a drama. What changed — and why it matters During these years, MachineryAssist has handled nearly 5,000 truckloads of industrial equipment. Dozens of corrugators, FFGs, RDCs, and many other types of oversized, specialized machinery. Every project taught us something new. Every challenge forced us to improve. Today, we complete many projects in nearly half the time that was considered normal a decade ago. For a manufacturer running a corrugator at full capacity, every month of downtime can represent $300,000–$600,000 in lost production. Getting back online two weeks faster is not a logistics detail. It is a financial decision. The case that changed how we think about equipment A few years ago, we relocated a BOBST die-cutter from a plant in Austria to a facility in Belgium. Standard job, on paper. The machine weighed in sections that exceeded what our equipment at the time could lift in a single pick. We had to break it down further than necessary — adding two full days of dismantling, complicating the reassembly sequence, and extending the commissioning phase. Projects like these pushed us to invest in portable high-capacity lifting equipment rated to 20 tonnes — four times the 5-tonne standard units. The difference in practice: large machine sections and complete sub-assemblies that previously required full disassembly can now be moved intact. On every comparable relocation since, we have recovered 10 to 15 working days per project. At a daily downtime cost of $15,000–$20,000 for a mid-sized corrugated plant, that is a difference of $150,000 to $300,000 — per project. The problems nobody warns you about Heavy machinery relocation is not just a logistics challenge. It is a minefield of invisible risks that hit from every direction — and usually hit hard. Licensing. In several European countries, crane operators require local certification to work legally on-site. We have seen projects where a contractor arrived with a qualified crew — only to discover that their licences were not recognised in that jurisdiction. The result: work stopped, a certified local operator had to be sourced on short notice, and the customer paid three days of idle time across an eight-person installation team. Cost: roughly $40,000 in delays and emergency sourcing fees. This is entirely avoidable — if you know to check. Opportunistic upgrades. A disassembled machine looks like an opportunity. Owners think: while it is in pieces, let us replace the worn parts, upgrade the drive system, add the sensors we always wanted. Sometimes that logic is sound. Very often it is not. We have seen upgrade decisions made mid-relocation that extended the project by four to six weeks, because the replacement components were not in stock, the modified machine required re-engineering of the installation footprint, or the new systems simply were not compatible with the existing line. The cost of one poorly timed upgrade can exceed the entire relocation budget. The rule we follow: if an upgrade was not planned, budgeted, and sourced before the machine left its original location — it does not happen during transit. What experience actually means There is a saying that moving is like experiencing two fires. We have spent the last decade learning how to make it feel like something far calmer — a well-planned journey with known checkpoints, documented risks, and people who have seen almost every failure mode before it happens. Experience is not only knowing how to do something. Experience is knowing what will go wrong before it does — and having already solved it. If you are planning a machinery relocation, we are happy to walk through your specific project: the equipment, the route, the timeline, the risks. No obligation. Because the best relocation is the one nobody remembers as a problem. MachineryAssist specialises in the relocation of heavy industrial and corrugated packaging equipment across Europe and beyond.
