SLOVAKIA –Print company Tlačiareň Bardejov has bought a five-colour Rapida 76 with an inline coater and an Omega Allpro 90 folder-gluer technologies from Koenig & Bauer to scale operations.
According to Koenig & Bauer, by investing in a five-color Rapida 76 with inline coater, together with an Omega Allpro 90 folder-gluer, Tlačiareň Bardejov has boosted its production capacities in preparation for new and future market demands.
The print company now has two sheetfed offset presses, including the Rapida 76, a CtP platesetter, an Omega Allpro 90 line for carton folding and gluing, automatic die-cutting and embossing presses, hot-stamping, laminating, and gluing machines.
It also has a range of other machinery to support packaging production.
The highly automated Rapida 76 in B2 half shape was built exclusively for Tlaiare Bardejov’s product line, Koenig & Bauer said.
It will help Tlačiareň to produce packaging for wines and spirits as well as for e-commerce and print boards up to a thickness of 0.8mm.
Spot colors (Pantone, HKS, metallic inks) can be used with the fifth printing unit which ensures that the products can be printed and finished in a single pass, which eventually lowers production costs.
In addition, the Rapida 76 has an integrated high-flow coater unit that handles simple inline dispersion coatings, and in combination with the last printing unit can deliver special multiple finishes.
Special multiple finishes are used to deliver matt-gloss refinements and add other visual effects to substrates.
In its expanded delivery, the Rapida 76 is outfitted with IR and hot air drying, Koenig & Bauer said.
This enables consistent drying even at high production speeds expediting processing of the printed sheets and consequently lower throughput times for individual tasks.
Tlačiareň Bardejov owner Karol Dvorčák said: “We recognized that it is currently essential to identify production reserves and to utilize savings potential. That is why we decided to network our production with production planning software.”
Based in Bardejov, the print company supplies folding cartons and other print products to customers both in Slovakia and its neighboring countries.
The company hopes to benefit from the opening of the European markets post-Covid 19 pandemic in addition to its investments.
