coated along with other important messaging on the box and a photo of Nina Mehta, who co-founded the company. It’s imperative that each box, sitting side-by-side on store shelves, entices customers, maintains color consistency, and reflects the quality of the product inside. “Having an in-plant press production department at our headquarters near Los Angeles allows us to have com- plete control over the high quality, speed, and efficiency of our carton output,” says Dr. Ketan C. Mehta, NeilMed’s founder. “Being in the pharmaceutical industry, we are tight- ly regulated. Our production operators expertly print our packages. We took a proactive approach and decided to increase our throughput by printing our entire run in-line with a perfector press, print our package instructions, in- serts, and leaflets roll-to-sheet with a Mabeg reel sheeter, and enhance the look of our product packages with a Vin- voil cold foil system. Having this press technology and op- timized solution created by Koenig & Bauer will save us time and money.” But the biggest impact of operating the new Rapida press, says Khan, is in the increased quality of its packag- ing. Having the Koenig & Bauer ErgoTronic Color Control automatic color measuring system on its press, says Khan, provides the operator with the measurement, control, and monitoring of ink densities and L*a*b* values through its Er- goTronic camera that is constantly measuring registration. Mehta and his team believe the new press will increase productivity by double digits and substantially decrease makeready times. This can be attributed to operating a new perfector press that quickly runs the job through the press once in a single pass. More savings will be achieved with the Vinfoil cold foil system, which will provide cost effective eye-catching ef- fects and brand protection to increase NeilMed’s visibility. Mabeg reel sheeter allows NeilMed non-stop operation to take advantage of lower cost web paper rolls by quickly sheeting and delivering cut sheets in-line directly to the pickup roller of the Rapida press. “Each time we place another order for a new Koenig & Bauer press, we add more firepower to our pressroom,” says Dr. Mehta. “Our successive Koenig & Bauer presses are key com- ponents to our workflow. We continue to add Koenig & Bauer presses due to their expert output and operation as well as their service and support team, in which local service technicians ensure complete satisfaction and op- eration of the new press, along with the attention received from our sales manager Jurgen Gruber. “From an in-plant perspective, printing our own pack- aging is much better than outsourcing to another printer. Our consistent vision is to ensure that our packaging is of the highest quality, monitor our workflow, and have the flexibility to make changes to our packaging.” For more information, visit koenig-bauer.com .
