K&D Graphics — A Nice Printing Racket

For 2008, K&D Graphics posted sales of $10.28 million, with a lion’s share of its growth coming from the packaging side. What has really allowed that aspect of the business to explode is the company’s acquisition of a 12-color, 41˝ Heidelberg Speedmaster XL 105 UV press. At 120 feet, it is easily one of the longest sheetfed offset presses in the world. The machine, which perfects six colors on both sides of the sheet in a single pass, is equipped with double in-line aqueous/UV coaters and a CutStar roll feeder.
