Provider of custom corrugated packaging and displays, Complete Design & Packaging (CDP), has added a Koenig & Bauer Allpro 145 gluer to its 100,000sqft manufacturing site in Concord, US.
The investment will enhance the company’s existing capabilities says Keith Furr, general manager at CDP. Mr Furr added that the ability to provide a quick turnaround is for its customers. The new high speed folder gluer allows CDP to respond to customer demands, alleviating the pressure the company has experienced as it has grown, he continued.
The company’s three-building facility outside of Charlotte, NC includes an existing Koenig & Bauer folder gluer, which Mr Furr has praised for its durability, productivity, and fantastic results. He believes believes that his operators will have an easy adjustment moving from the current folder gluer to the new Allpro 145.
‘Nearly everything that we print gets glued,’ said Mr Furr. ‘Having the Allpro 145 will give us additional flexibility to produce smaller boxes on a variety of substrates than our other four folder gluer machines. It will offer us new capabilities and new features. We’re very excited to get it installed.’
The new folder gluer will also contribute to a better working environment for CDP’s post press employees – helping to relieve those extra overtime hours, says the company.
Mr Furr concluded, ‘Due to our digital capabilities, we change over our jobs much faster than our competitors and exceed our turnaround times. We have a solid reputation for producing orders much faster and less costly. While all packaging types serve an important purpose, our focus lies within custom-designed, high graphics point-of-purchase displays, e-commerce packaging, and the components that accompany them. Our new Koenig & Bauer Allpro 145 will be key in boosting our capabilities in the post press department.’
