KBA Continues to Invest in Package Printing Segment

Winston Packaging, a fourth-generation family-owned printed paperboard packaging company located in Winston-Salem, NC, is producing jobs on its new six-color, 41˝ KBA Rapida 106 press with unique automation such as LogoTronic, DensiTronic, and SIS. “We were seeking a press that would provide us with faster changeovers and faster run speeds along with advanced color management to provide our customers with the best performing folding carton possible,” explained James Gordon, president and CEO of Winston Packaging. The Rapida’s larger sheet size, says Gordon, is more productive and efficient in terms of yields for the type of cartons that are used in its business segments. “The advanced feeder for the continuous running of board stock and the 20,000 iph press speed were significant differences over our current press manufacturer,” he said. “We were also impressed with the complete automation package from KBA such as its LogoTronic management system and DensiTronic color control system. This automation is much more advanced than our previous press.”
