KBA Corrugraph: De comeback van een flex-pers bewijst de potentie van de verpakkingsmarkt

Coni Wolf of York Container in York, PA, is extremely satisfied with her KBA Corrugraph delivered shortly after the millennium. She is pleased that KBA is re-entering the sheetfed flexo corrugated market with a new Corrugraph generation – shown here as a model

Even more highly automated for fast job change the new KBA Corrugraph features an integrated rotary die-cutter. It is engineered for a maximum sheet format of 152 x 340cm and a maximum print speed of 12,000sph. It can handle substrate thicknesses from 1 to 10mm. What is more, KBA is working with HP on the development and production of the HP T1100S inkjet web press with a web width of 2.8m. HP has already ordered 5 of these presses.

Packaging market growing faster than world’s population

With a growth rate of +4% p.a. the global packaging market is growing faster than the world’s population. Flexible packaging (+4.4%), corrugated (+4.3%), board (+4.2%), rigid plastics (+3.8%), glass (+3.3%) and metal (+2.5%) are growing the fastest. KBA companies are active in all of these areas, and are even the leader in some.
