Mitch Evans, Director of Graphic Arts Advisors, is pleased to announce that GAA's client General Die & Die Cutting, formerly of Roosevelt, New York, located on Long Island, has merged with C+C Packaging, based in Farmingdale, New York. This is the second transaction on which GAA advised the Vallone family, owners of General Die, previously representing the family in the sale of the specialty products company, Signature Food Boards to Lamitech.

Peter Vallone, retiring President of General Die, stated "In order to keep up with market demands we feel that joining with C+C Packaging will better serve our customers by offering a more complete line of finishing, production and design services to Long Island’s graphic arts industry."

Louann and Richard Vallone are now on the team at C+C Packaging in Farmingdale, committed to insure a seamless transition for General Die’s customers.

C+C Packaging offers a complete range of bindery services, die cutting, stamping, embossing and carton construction techniques using their state of the art machinery. General Die brings mounting, UV coating and large format die cutting along with years of customer-specific knowledge and is very well regarded in the Long Island graphic communications industry.
