The KBA Rapida 105 with six printing units, inline coating tower and full equipment for UV production will be the first sheetfed offset press to be installed by packaging producer Streamline Cartons from Adelaide in Australia. It is set to arrive in January, and production will be starting by the end of February.
In the past, Streamline Cartons concentrated on the carton design, pre‑press and conversion stages, while the actual printing was outsourced to local partners. As demand for finishing and product refinements increased, however, it seemed only logical to bring the printing in-house, not least because that would also enable much quicker turnarounds.
“We were finding that we also needed access to UV print and finishing,” operations manager Joshua Harris said. “In this respect, the configuration of the Rapida 105 we ordered is tailored specifically to the needs of our customers.”
