Marrs Printing & Packaging optimizes pressroom with KBA Rapida 106

The fully-automated press with coater and board package will drive maximum performance and yield significant results with new internal on-press tools not available to the California printer previously. It will also gain significant speed of 18,000sph due to the Rapida’s fully automatic plate changing system and will advance its consistency, efficiency, and product control using KBA’s in-line and online systems – KBA QualiTronic ColorControl and KBA ErgoTronic ColorControl.

Scott Marrs, vice president at Marrs Printing & Packaging, said: ‘We’re adding another “arrow in our quiver” to our pressroom. We’re making this multi-million dollar investment to maintain the high responsiveness that our customers expect. Our goal is to always provide the highest quality service for our customers. Quality is not negotiable.’

Marrs Printing & Packaging offers finishing, coating, die-cutting, foiling, structure and design, while the new KBA press will join three other presses at this location along with digital spot UV and hot foiling technology.

‘The folding carton production market continues to change with clients asking us for shorter run lengths, increased speed-to-market, and consistent color and production week-to-week, month-to-month,’ said Scott Marrs. ‘Consumers are making split-second decisions to purchase products on a store shelf each and every day. Our job is to offer the highest quality printing to ensure brand integrity along with flexible and fluid scheduling to keep our clients satisfied. The investment in our new KBA Rapida 106 is testament that we’re committed to that ideal.’
