Packaging Personified Adds Koenig & Bauer Press Packaging Personified, Carol Stream, Illinois, will install a new eight-color Koenig & Bauer Evo XG Mod 140 press this spring. The firm employs more than 230 between its 137,000 square-foot facility in Illinois and 105,000 square-foot facility in Michigan, with an eye toward a third facility in the future. “[The press] is a key part of our $10 million spend in the past 18 months,” said Joe Imburgia, Packag- ing Personified’s General Manager. “It is giving us a higher speed of 2,000 feet per minute and will significantly increase capacity along with higher productivity.” Unique to PPI’s press is its inline spectrophotom- eter, which allows PPI to get a valid color mea- surement all inline and help to manage density and dot gain. Recently, with a focus on sustainability, the com- pany introduced its lamination replacement films that provide an alternative material to common PE/ PET laminations. This film reportedly eliminates the need to combine multiple substrates and as a re- sult maintains recyclability while still providing the strength and rigidity necessary for many applica- tions, including pouch packaging. Packaging Personified annually receives a SQF (Safe Quality Food) certification audit that evaluates if PPI’s systems are functioning properly in order to prevent contamination, helps the company main- tain consistency, and provides third party credibili- ty to its food packaging customers. This year one of PPI’s locations achieved the highest possible score of 100 percent.
