K1 Packaging Group recently installed a Landa S10 Nanographic Printing Press.
The Landa S10 breaks color, speed, and substrate barriers using the Nanographic Printing process, Landa’s exclusive application of nanotechnology for digital printing.
K1’s Landa S10 – which prints up to 6,500 sheets per hour – is the first Landa digital press to be installed on the west coast of the U.S.
K1’s customers are comprised of exclusive luxury, health and beauty, pharmaceutical, and electronics brands.
“As an industry leader in technology and innovation, Landa Digital Printing has made an incredible contribution to the package printing sector with the Nanographic press. Landa’s advanced implementation of nanotechnology for printing and powerful digital processing is boosting efficiency significantly,” said Mike Tsai, CEO of K1 Packaging Group. “When we were looking to expand our operation, Landa and its S10 was the perfect solution because its scalability and upward compatibility will help us meet customer demand for years to come.”
Package printing's worldwide growth – expected to reach $440.6 billion in 2024, up from $350.6 billion in 2019 [Packaging Printing Market, Global Forecast to 2024, MarketsandMarkets Research Private Ltd., 2020] – comes as the segment undergoes substantial change, according to Edu Meytal, VP for Global Business at Landa Digital Printing.
“This is where true partnerships with customers can make a huge difference,” Meytal said. “K1’s brand owner customers proactively discuss their long-term plans so that K1 can provide input and be prepared.”
Meytal goes on to say that the packaging printers best positioned to serve the expanded market will satisfy brands’ requirements with a variety of offerings, including short runs with variable and personalized options, anti-counterfeiting solutions, finishing options, and sustainability. As such, he says that K1 Packaging Group, equipped with the Landa S10, is a good example of a package printer ready to support this next wave of expansion.
“K1’s technical, artistic, environmental and business acumen is strong. You have to give them credit for doing their homework and executing meaningful initiatives,” Meytal said.
