Large-format printing technology from Koenig & Bauer has always led the market in packaging printing. With innovative features and future-oriented automation concepts, the new generation of the Rapida 145 and Rapida 164 is more economical and flexible than ever before. The ability to process substrates thicker than 2mm offers production possibilities far beyond the standard.
In the online printing business, precisely coordinated, standardised processes count. This is where the Rapida 145 and Rapida 164 score with extremely short makeready times and maximum print quality - for example with measuring technology that takes a close look at every sheet. Especially with inline finishing this allows you to produce gang forms in the large sheet format in the most perfect, economical and brilliant way.
The Rapida 145 and Rapida 164 are the ideal presses for commercial applications and high-volume book production. Fully automatic perfecting units allow for 4-over-4 printing even in the jumbo format. In terms of makeready times and print performance, the large-format Rapidas are in no way inferior to medium-format presses - thanks to a wide range of automation components.
"The new Rapida 145 demands a perfectly organized environment. We were aware of that and have been preparing for it. As a result, we are now experiencing a quantum leap in output."
"The new Rapida 164 offers us 15 to 20 percent more output with reduced makeready times. As a print service provider for folding carton and display production, this helps us to operate with even greater flexibility."
