International PaperBox Invests In Koenig & Bauer Rapida Press Salt Lake City, Utah based International PaperBox CEO Wade Holbrook announced the firm’s new Koenig & Bauer Rapida 106 seven-color UV press to his customer base, demonstrating his commitment to create the highest qual- ity, most vivid and eye-catching packages. “Since our new Koenig & Bauer press was installed, it has been operating at an astounding level,” says Holbrook, who owns the 50-employee Utah business along with his wife, Kay. “Our customers have a much higher standard for quality than what was accepted five years ago.
