With a growing trend towards both high-end, sustainable packaging and shorter-run custom projects, Ultimate Paper
Box (UPBX) took the initiative to add a new mid-size Rapida 106 41-inch eight-color LED sheetfed press to its
City of Industry, California pressroom from long-time press manufacturing partner Koenig & Bauer. “As our elite brands
seek more eco-conscious solutions and faster turnaround times, we want to continue to be well-positioned to meet
those demands with our new technology and dedicated team,” says Janak Patel, UPBX’s president.
Ever since Patel established his southern California printing business, major brands have been attracted to his emphasis and commitment to innovation, quality, and sustainability. The new Koenig & Bauer press investmen underscores Patel’s dedication to provide his customers with the best possible packaging solutions while adopting
environmentally responsible practices.
“Our philosophy has always been to invest in cutting-edge technology to stay ahead of the curve and deliver eye-catching packaging solutions,” says Patel. “This new Koenig & Bauer press enhances our production speed, precision, and color consistency, giving us the ability to take on more complex and high-end packaging projects while improving overall efficiency.”
Patel specified that the new Rapida press be equipped with a variety of standout features such as advanced color
control, fast makeready times, and LED drying technology. The ability to print with greater accuracy, reduce waste,
and streamline workflow were major factors in his decision.
These features allow UPBX to deliver consistent, high-quality results with increased efficiency to a diverse range of industries, including food and beverage, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and consumer goods.
As market demands evolve, UPBX continues to expand its reach, particularly in premium packaging solutions and sustainable materials. Color accuracy and consistency are critical for brand integrity, especially in luxury and consumer packaging. With Koenig & Bauer’s state-of-the-art color management system, says Patel, UPBX can ensure that every run maintains the highest level of production, reducing color variation and eliminating costly reprints.
Operating in California requires UPBX to be exceptionally aware of the state’s stringent environmental regulations.
The Rapida’s LED curing technology allows the firm to reduce emissions, lower energy consumption, and eliminate harmful solvents. “This investment reflects our ongoing commitment to sustainability and regulatory compliance,” says Patel. Equally impressive is the significant energy savings and improved drying speed and efficiency derived from the Rapida’s LED curing technology.
