higher speeds and much faster makeready. Due to all of the high-end features on the press, we’re at least 30 per- cent more efficient and can turn our jobs much faster. The array of custom features supports faster net sheets on our production floor through continuous running of the press.” Protective Packaging said its customers are impressed with the machine’s superior quality and enhanced color control system, which automatically provides operators with color measurement and control and intricate and de- tailed report systems. Price has also found the Koenig & Bauer sales and service team to be reliable and quick reacting. When Pro- tective experienced a fire at its facility, he needed a new replacement press to be delivered so that the 2019 Koenig & Bauer press could be repaired quickly. Price said that Koenig & Bauer arranged to get a new press delivered sooner than expected and sent in its service team to order parts for the existing press, which had experienced water and smoke damage. “There’s no denying that a mid-size company like ours requires two printing presses,” says Price. “After operating two Koenig & Bauer presses and witnessing their superb customer service, I can unequivocally say that they are the leading press manufacturer for folding cartons.” The Protective Packaging team is proud to be operating the first new generation mid-format Koenig & Bauer Rapida 106 six-color press.
