DALLAS—KBA North America announced that Hanover Packaging, a packaging firm based in Hanover, Pa., is installing a new KBA Rapida 106 41-inch six-color sheetfed press with conventional and UV capabilities during the summer of 2009.
“We chose KBA due to the high quality, flexibility, and environmentally-friendly properties of the company’s Rapida 106 press,” says Larry Chatzkel, president of Hanover Packaging. “We also wanted to provide a cost-effective solution for our customers. This press is the world record holder for the number of jobs run in a production shift and it has extremely short makeready times. In addition, this press will run at speeds up to 18,000 sheets per hour. The fastest makereadies and highest production speeds translate into cost savings for our customers.”
Hanover Packaging purchased the press for its low impact on the environment and the quality of its performance on a wide range of substrates. “First, we were looking for a press that would be as environmentally-friendly as possible,” explains Chatzkel. “The KBA Rapida 106 emits zero VOCs when printing UV, which was a huge plus for us. Secondly, because we manufacture packaging in all substrates, we wanted a press that could excel in printing on both board and plastic. The Rapida 106 is the first press in which we had the confidence that we could achieve these goals.”
