Century Packages is geared up to install a KBA Rapida 105 PRO at its plant in Karachi. This press heralds the company’s entry into the medium-format sheet-fed offset market.

Aslam Sulaiman, owner of Century Packages, said: ‘This step was well overdue. We need the larger format for both our packaging and commercial jobs.’

Accordingly, the Rapida 105 PRO accommodates commercial and packaging printing on substrates up to a thickness of 1.2mm. It is able to alternate between a conventional process and UV inks and coatings. This helps the company serve the interests of both the food packaging sector and cosmetics packaging.

The new press is equipped with six printing units and facilities for high quality inline finishing. Other features include the 450mm raised foundations, CleanTronic multi washing systems that includes CleanTronic UV, non-stop pile changing in the delivery, and a range of automation modules.

Century Packages already operates three half-format Rapidas – two Rapida 72 presses and a five-colour Rapida 75 with coater and extended delivery.

With certification to ISO 9001, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001 and HACCP, Century Packages can furnish proof of compliance with all the relevant demands of high quality packaging for the food sector and sustainable work safety management.
