Cartografica Veneta was founded as a small printshop by Bruno Tassoni in 1949. The modest firm has since grown into a packaging business with three production plants covering an area measuring 100,000 sq m. In 1969 Cartografica Veneta installed large-format presses for packaging printing in a new pressroom. Today the firm has three presses, including a KBA Rapida 162 with six inking units and two coaters, purchased in 2003.

The new press is equipped with a board handling and high-speed package, and is raised by 630mm (24.8in).
