A seven-colour KBA Rapida 106 in a double-coater configuration will be entering production at Deluxe Packages in Karachi/Pakistan in autumn. It is the longest sheetfed offset press ever installed in the 60‑year history of the company, which supplies packaging for the pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and confectionery branches, as well as POS displays.
Deluxe Packages occupies more than 43,560 square feet of production space at its existing premises. A new factory adds a further 174,240 square feet. With more than 150 employees, the company generates an annual turnover of around $5.5 million and is one of the leading packaging companies in Pakistan.
In the past, the company has used various half- and medium-format presses with four to six colors, and so the arrival of the 11-unit Rapida 106 heralds the transition to a whole new dimension.
The print format and production output of the Rapida 106 are important factors for the company. The increasing complexity of packaging designs calls for additional printing units for spot colors, and the double-coating facility is a further prerequisite for high quality multiple coatings and UV finishes.
