TPC Printing & Packaging Invests In Koenig & Bauer Perfector Press “If you can imagine it, we can build it” is the motto at TPC Printing & Packaging, the nation’s leader in packaging innovation. After nearly 100 years in business, the fami- ly-owned third generation Chattanooga, Tennessee pack- aging printer continues to unveil advances and new ca- pabilities for its customers.

The new press, which arrived in mid-2020, has achieved its multi-prong purpose. Its main goal was to reach new levels of quality and output while reducing turnaround time and increasing efficiency. The Rapida 105 PRO is also tasked to increase the firm’s sustainability and environmental initiatives.

pass. Due to the inline cold foil system on the new Rapida 105 PRO, TPC has reduced its offline conventional hot foil stamping presses from running 24 hours/day to only run- ning one shift per day. “These are massive improvements to efficiency and cost, not to mention the elimination of many stamping dies,” said Joseph A.

It has eliminated a lot of machine hours on relat- ed equipment.” Schmissrauter describes the new Koenig & Bauer Rap- ida 105 PRO 10-color as a dream machine. “We are now running most of our cosmetic packaging that requires full Koenig & Bauer’s German and U.S. executives visited TPC headquarters in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
