Printing and paper

Large, heavy rolls and coils for the beverage industry or small, lightweight paper products such as paper plates, coasters, or notebooks are just a small selection of paper products that our systems handle with ease. Magazines, newspapers, books, and other paper products are also packaged perfectly for their respective purpose.

Books, magazines, catalogs, copy paper, and envelopes are goods with a uniform, flat geometry — but demanding packaging requirements. 

Paper reacts to moisture with warping and loss of quality. A damaged delivery of high-quality printed products means complaints and returns. Packaging machines for printing and paper must therefore ensure reliable moisture protection and accommodate high cycle rates in print finishing — each machine is a key element of efficient packaging processes.

We act according to this principle. To ensure the packaging result is right in the end, a wide range of factors must be considered in advance. When choosing a suitable packaging machine, several machine types are generally possible candidates. But there is only one machine that, taking all factors into account, achieves the optimal packaging result. Together with you, we want to find exactly that Kallfass system.

In printing companies and print finishing operations, packaging lines run directly after the printing presses. Any delay in the packaging process backs up upstream production. High cycle rates are therefore not a bonus, but a necessity. At the same time, books, brochures, and catalogs must be packaged so that corners and edges are not damaged and cover pages remain free of pressure marks.

Magazines and brochures are bundled in large quantities for mail order retail and direct advertising. Here, speed matters just as much as a clean, even packaging appearance. Copy paper and stationery paper present different requirements: here, moisture protection over long storage and transport routes is the priority. Paper goods that arrive damp are worthless — the packaging must reliably prevent this. Efficient Kallfass packaging solutions combine protective performance and throughput into an economical overall system.
 

For printed and paper products, Kallfass offers two fundamentally different packaging approaches. Classic film packaging via full film wrap or film banderole reliably protects against moisture and can be processed at high cycle rates. Packaging machines such as L-sealing machines, side sealing machines, and banderoling machines package reliably and accurately in film. Film as a packaging material remains the first choice when transparency and maximum moisture barrier protection are required.

Paper packaging is available as an efficient alternative — a sustainable packaging solution that is gaining increasing importance in the printing industry. Kallfass offers paper packaging machines with one and with two paper rolls. Both machine types process paper as the packaging material and produce a fully recyclable pack without plastic film. For publishers, printing companies, and mail order retailers looking to make their packaging processes more sustainable, this is a compelling alternative.  
 

Packaging systems in printing companies and publishing houses must be seamlessly integrated into existing processing lines. Transfer points from folding machines, saddle stitchers, or cutting systems are coordinated on a project-specific basis. The control system communicates with higher-level line controls via standard protocols. Format changeovers between different printed products — for example, from book packs to stacks of magazines — can be quickly recalled via saved programs on the Easy Touch HMI.

Kallfass packaging machines achieve availability of over 98.5% in multi-shift operation. In printing companies that produce around the clock, this is the decisive foundation for stable and economical packaging processes — from a single brochure to a pallet-ready stack of catalogs.
