Great American Packaging Invests In Koenig & Bauer Evo XD Press Los Angeles, California based Great American Packaging (GAP) has announced a host of successful outcomes since investing in a Koenig & Bauer Evo XD eight-color flexo press which includes a 78 percent increase in print busi- ness prompting the firm to add more shifts, sales support, and additional personnel. “Where we excel is solid customer relationships built on a strong foundation of white glove service,” says Beth Smith, GAP’s Executive Vice President. “Our customers praise our personal service consultation branding. All of which sets our client’s packaging apart on store shelves and sets us apart from competitors.” GAP’s press operators have taken advantage of the Evo XD’s automated features, which include optical error
detection, automated viscosity control, auto washup, auto impression setting, servo control, memory for job settings, automatic splicing, and automatic tension control.

DESIGNS THAT INCREASE PRODUCTION
“I’ve been a press operator for more than 30 years in which I’ve operated a wide variety of presses and the Koenig & Bauer Evo XD is the best experience I’ve ever had,” says GAP Printing Supervisor Ignacio Solis. “The best attribute for our press is Koenig & Bauer’s PrintTronic, which allows us to adjust the im- pression settings and minimize waste. Our op- erators enjoy using the friendly touchscreen panels, which automatically control tempera- ture, auto viscosity, and by far, color consisten- cy, which is awesome.” Koenig & Bauer offers 24-hour support ser- vices via augmented reality AR-DataGlass, an audio-visual tool designed to improve produc- tivity, quality, and performance. GAP’s printing supervisor and team can troubleshoot using the interactive glasses while a Koenig & Bauer technician can remotely view the challenges or issues on the machine from anywhere in the world and exchange direct communica- tion, technical information, or documentation in real-time. GAP says its management and sales team are always available to provide customers with up-to-date environmental rules. “Our recyclable and compostable products fall within the sustainability requirements of this legislation today,” Smith said. “We’ve even launched a compostable product line, and have partnered with our customers to develop new products designed for their sustainability manufacturability requirements.” “We remain convinced that we chose the best flexographic press partner in Koenig & Bauer,” says Bruce Carter, GAP President. “They displayed great services as a partner.”
