In a strategic move to increase flexibility and efficiency, Harrison Packaging has partnered with Koenig & Bauer to overhaul its production setup, installing a highly customized Rapida 106 X press and Omega Allpro 110 folder gluer.

The Rapida 106 X, with eight inking units and dual coaters, supports daily high-speed output at 20,000 sph, while the Omega Allpro 110 allows Harrison to expand beyond solid board into microflute packaging—opening new markets.
