In a few days, Koenig & Bauer will open the first door of the advent calendar. One of the print shops producing exceptional advent calendars is Wittmann Druck & Verpackung in Germany. A 6-color Rapida 106 with coater went into production there at the beginning of 2021. Amongst other high quality commercial jobs, the new Rapida ensures that we will soon be starting every day until Christmas with a little cheerful surprise.
Modern, clean and flooded with natural daylight – these qualities characterise the entire company premises of Wittmann Druck & Verpackung in Neumarkt/Oberpfalz. And blue, fast and efficient are attributes that describe the recently installed Rapida 106, which now shoulders all print production for the company. With its inline quality control capabilities, it guarantees both the company and its customers high, reliable and consistent print quality – and ensures this can be done to everyone's satisfaction, because the six-colour coater press now forms the kingpin of a company dedicated to mainly short-run folding carton production. A run of 10,000 copies is already at the top of the range, as managing director Hans Schuster reports. And the print jobs themselves are anything other than routine ones. The company produces very individual and highly specialised packaging for brand owners in sectors such as electronics, writing instruments, confectionery and cosmetics. Advent calendars in a never-ending variety of shapes and forms are one of Wittmann’s specialities.
A six-colour Rapida 106 with coating facilities has been used in production at Wittmann Druck & Verpackung since the beginning of the year.
