Colonial Carton Company Celebrates Growth with KBA Rapida Presses

WILLISTON, Vt.—KBA North America, a global press manufacturer is reporting double-digit sales growth at Colonial Carton Company, a leading pharmaceutical folding carton manufacturer located in Clayton, N.C., thanks to the printer’s use of two KBA Rapida 105 41-inch sheetfed presses: a four-color and a seven-color press both equipped with the unique KBA Qualitronic II inline sheet inspection system that takes pictures of each sheet for full copy control and produces 18,000 sheets per hour.

“Our duo of KBA presses is helping us bring in a host of new customers who give us value-added jobs with specialized coatings,” says Joe Elphick, president and CEO of Colonial Carton. “We’ve been able to produce jobs that we couldn’t produce before. This expansion of our market required us to purchase new die-cutters and folder gluers. In the past year, we’ve posted over 40 percent growth in sales. Our KBA presses are fantastic!”
