Landa Digital Printing announced that K-1 Packaging Group, a provider of custom packaging solutions for consumer products, has taken delivery of a new Landa S10 NanographicPrinting Press.
The Landa S10 is currently being installed at the company’s California headquarters in City of Industry, outside of Los Angeles.
The S10 will produce short to medium run static and variable jobs that consume too much time and material when run on conventional equipment.
Work to be printed on the Landa S10 consists primarily of 5,000 sheets-and-under jobs that make up much of K-1’s production schedule. The work includes folding cartons, countertop displays, labels, and litholam corrugated boxes.
“The 40 inch press is Landa’s domain,” K-1 President Mike Tsai said. “No one is able to run static or variable jobs as quickly. In a manufacturing environment, this means that we will be more productive, and able to give our customers greater flexibility on run quantity and SKU count – an important competitive edge. What’s more, the S10’s scalability and upward compatibility gives us confidence that we will meet customer demands well into the future.”
One such K-1 job involves processing and printing a client’s 1-to-1 variable product codes supporting traceability and other supply chain requirements.
“This is part of the future that Landa is helping K-1, and our client, to exist in today,” Tsai said.
“We are elated that K-1, one of world’s most progressive companies, has made Nanography central to its production strategy,” said Nachum Korman, VP and GM for Landa Digital Printing in the Americas. “K-1’s production team is well known for its work in optimizing every device, tool and process they use; so we will also be fascinated to see how it leverages the S10’s capabilities and explore its full potential."
