-

A global leader in high -performing print solutions, Koenig & Bauer, provides an adventurous declaration of the 11th Beijing International Printing Exhibition (China Print 2025). From 15 to May 19, visitors will experience live performances of the powerful Rapida 105 in Hall 2 (W2-001), which has now increased by eight-color abilities and sophisticated coating equipment.

With a large -scale 1000+ square meter stand, Koenig and Bauur demonstrate their technical leadership in displaced displacement – a step that confirms its commitment to innovation in both packaging and commercial printing.

Revolutionizing Packaging With The Rapida 105

This latest version includes an advanced configuration supporting:

  • Expanded color gamut printing (CMYK+OVG)

  • Nonstop feeder and delivery with a lowerable nonstop carriage

  • UV/mixed-mode operation flexibility

  • CleanTronic washing units for efficient press cleaning

  • Fully automatic plate changers for rapid job turnaround

  • Advanced quality control systems with inking unit temperature regulation and automated register measurement

These features position the Rapida 105 as an ideal solution for printers dealing with frequent job changes, short-run packaging orders, or high-end commercial print work.

Designed For Today’s Demands—And Tomorrow’s

The Rapida 105 is more than a press; it’s an investment in future production possibilities. Built for quick changeovers, higher level of automation and better color consistency, it is a response to the rising trend of custom-packaging of high value products around the world.

To North American and European印刷 companies keen to increase their packaging capacities or enhance the efficiency of their operations, the innovations made by Koenig & Bauer in the Rapida series are compelling business case.

Live Demos and Side-by-Side Comparisons
