La Crosse, Wisconsin based Inland Packaging has invest- ed in its first Koenig & Bauer Rapida 106X UV LED nine color plus coater. The offset press built specially for the in-mold label market, is the centerpiece of the company’s new 40,000-square-foot production facility. “Our state-of-the-art press and finishing equipment have opened additional capacity with increased produc- tivity and efficiency,” says Amy Mashak, Director of Opera- tions at Inland. “This additional capacity is allowing Inland to serve growing markets better and exceed customer de- mand.” Inland has been recognized for its high-quality label and packaging production. Most recently, the firm was award- ed two American Package Design Awards from Graphic Design USA for its labels. Additionally, the GAA named In- land a winner in the 2022 Golden Cylinder Award for its Nesquik in-mold label.

To maintain this level of quality for Inland’s clientele, the firm ensured that the new Rapida press was equipped with features that could produce award-winning quality color products. Inland’s press is equipped with a suite of Koe- nig & Bauer color control systems such as the ErgoTron- ic Color Control, ErgoTronic LAB, ErgoTronic PSO match, Qualitronic Inline Color Control, QualiTronic PrintCheck, ErgoTronic ACR (video camera for register control), and Er- goTronic Image Zoom (video magnifier and tester). One particular feature of the press that has been ex- tremely valuable, says Mashak, is its ability to produce de- tailed reports for managing color, both inline and offline. These important reports align with Inland’s objective of meeting the demands of its customers. The new Rapida press is loaded with additional fea- tures including a custom Koenig & Bauer VariDry config- uration specifically tailored for Inland’s needs now and in the future, including LED UV, UV, IR, Hot Air and Cold Air for UV or LED or water-based coating processes inline as its customer work may require; plus all VariDry drying ele- ments were manufactured, guaranteed, and process sup- ported by Koenig & Bauer to assure dependability.
