The new Rapida 106 \u2014 displaying outstanding speed and production \u2014 replaced two presses at the firm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe new Koenig &amp; Bauer Rapida 106 press is outperforming our older presses by leaps and bounds,\u201d says <strong>Greg Smith<\/strong>, owner of Printed Specialties. \u201cOur printing capacity has definitely grown by more than 50%. With the performance gains we\u2019re seeing, I think the time to reach our initial ROI could be cut in half. The gains in quality of our printed sheets alone have increased our confidence where we can surge throughput through the entire plant. We\u2019re seeing new run speeds close to double what we got from our older presses.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Printed Specialties specializes in UV printing of high-value folding cartons for industries like retail, food, beverages, and healthcare. Its services range from package design and UV printing to specialty coatings, foil stamping, embossing, diecutting, assembly, and fulfillment. With the addition of the new press, the firm is attracting a lot of new activity and is allowing them to seek new customers due to its added capacity and confidence in print and quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe exceeded our expectations for the new Rapida 106 as far as makeready reductions including time and material consumed,\u201d says Smith. \u201cWe calculated our ROI payback on a substantial increase in run speed along with a decrease in makeready time. With Koenig &amp; Bauer\u2019s efforts in training and education, we hit those targets out of the gate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the best reasons that Printed Specialties found in its switch to Koenig &amp; Bauer is that its press operators are praising the software\u2019s ease of use on the Rapida 106 and its user-friendly interface. The operators find the new press to be easy to navigate and produce jobs faster and more efficiently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe investment in our new Rapida 106 press has been a great addition to our manufacturing team,\u201d says Smith. \u201cKoenig &amp; Bauer has been a great partner to us in this journey. The whole team has been responsive and knowledgeable, and we\u2019ve been extremely happy with the purchase.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exceeding all expectations with fast ROI After only a couple of months of operating a Koenig &amp; Bauer Rapida 106 six-color plus coater for its pressroom, Printed Specialties, a successful $14 million folding carton printing company in Carrollton, Georgia, is reporting extremely impressive numbers as well as delivering the highest quality from its new press.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16211,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[65],"tags":[84,1266],"class_list":{"0":"post-16210","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-corrugated-folding-carton","8":"tag-koenig-bauer","9":"tag-printed-specialties"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16210","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16210"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16210\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":16212,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16210\/revisions\/16212"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/16211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16210"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16210"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cpmirror.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16210"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
