Complete Design & Packaging Adds Koenig & Bauer Folder Gluer Concord, North Carolina based Complete Design & Pack- aging (CDP), a manufacturer of custom corrugated pack- aging and point-of-purchase displays, has announced the installation of its newest Koenig & Bauer Allpro 145 folder gluer. When printers seek to invest in a new piece of equip- ment, there’s usually a specific reason why. It could be to expand their operations, enter a new market, or solve a specific challenge. CDP notes that the Allpro 145 has helped them achieve all three goals. “Since operating the Allpro 145, we’ve dramatically increased our speed to market, attained much higher ef- ficiency, eliminated bottlenecks, and allowing our sales team to add high-volume jobs,” says Keith Furr, general manager at CDP. The new high speed Allpro 145 folder gluer began op- eration earlier this year at the firm’s Concord, NC 110,000 sq ft manufacturing site joining an existing Koenig & Bauer folder gluer. Having both machines operating in tandem allows CDP to provide new capacity and bring in addition- al new customers. “With both folder gluers in operation, we’ve been able to shorten our lead times by running the same item on both machines, if need be,” says Bryan Allman, CDP’s plant
manager. “We’ve also been able to gain much more ver- satility and flexibility on the most complex range of carton styles including both infold and outfold trays due to the machine’s modular design. E and B flutes are the most common substrates.”
Internally, the Allpro 145 has provided better efficiency and relieved bottlenecks and allowed for faster job turn- around times. The workload balance between the new Allpro 145 and the older Koenig & Bauer folder gluer have improved efficiencies by allowing operators to produce The Complete Design & Packaging team, from left: Vicky Lo- pez, Allpro 145 Operator; Laura Ortiz, Finishing Supervisor; and Bryan Allman, Plant Manager.
