Ultimate Paper Box Installs Koenig & Bauer CutPRO Die-Cutter Founded with a clear focus on innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction, Ultimate Paper Box, a Los Ange- les-based printer and packaging manufacturer specializ- ing in high-end folding cartons and custom printed pack- aging, continues its strong growth by investing in a new Koenig & Bauer CutPRO Q 106 – a high-performance me- dium-format flatbed die-cutter designed for industrial fold- ing carton production. “Our goal has always been to invest in technology that allows us to grow with our customers and continue delivering the quality and service they expect from Ulti- mate Paper Box,” says Janak Patel, president of Ultimate. “As packaging becomes increasingly sophisticated, our customers are looking for greater precision, consistency, and faster turnaround times. The new CutPRO Q gives us the automation and flexibility to meet those demands while expanding our capabilities and increasing efficiency throughout our postpress operation.” Being efficient and fast were top priorities for Patel when choosing a die-cutter. The CutPRO Q features a unique Magic Carpet system, a zero makeready carpet system that uses a single rack to support blanks and in- stall the slip sheet simultaneously. This Koenig & Bauer feature inserts a slip sheet into the pile utilizing a new sys- tem developed by Koenig & Bauer’s renowned engineer- ing team. For Ultimate Paper Box, this technology helps reduce makeready time and increase production efficien- cy, allowing jobs to move through the postpress operation faster while maintaining the precision and quality required for high-end packaging. At his modern 100,000-sqare-foot production facility with over 130 team members, Patel chooses new equip- ment wisely with a focus on automation, efficiency, and ease of operation for his production team. An integrated user interface, only from Koenig & Bauer, between the All- pro 110 high-performance folder gluer, CutPRO Q die-cut- ter, and Rapida printing presses allows one operator to integrate all of the Koenig & Bauer machines for total ma- chine compatibility.
