Ultimate Paper Box Invests in 57-Inch, Seven-Color KBA Rapida 145 UV Press with Coater

Ultimate Paper Box, a fast-growing custom packaging manufacturer located in City of Industry, CA, is expanding its pressroom capabilities with the installation of a new seven-color, 57” KBA Rapida 145 with a host of automated KBA technology including full UV. This delivery marks the third large-format press from KBA to Ultimate Paper Box.
 
Currently, the firm is operating a six-color, 64” KBA Rapida 162a press with coater and double extended delivery providing the firm with double-digit growth in new business and increasing its production capability by 40%. A 56” KBA Rapida 142 press with UV has been removed to make way for the new 57” Rapida 145 press.
 
“Our decision to add another large-format KBA press – a 57˝Rapida 145 press – helps us to deliver sophisticated packaging jobs for the high-end packaging market and to separate us from our competitors while bringing additional value-added services to our existing customer base,” said owner Janak Patel.“A noteworthy improvement on our new KBA press is the added feature of UV ink and coating technology that will allow us to run a job through the press in only one pass, resulting in improved quality and lead times.”
