Japanese packaging printer Kabushiki Kaisha Kyoshin Paper & Package (K.K.Kyoshin Paper & Package) and Heidelberg Japan put the first Primefire 106 from Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG (Heidelberg) into operation at a ceremony in early November. This also marks the launch of the first industrial inkjet digital printing system in B1 format in Japan.

K.K.Kyoshin Paper & Package launched a web-to-pack business in Japan in 2013 under the name Hacoplay, in which the company offers original packaging with short delivery times online. Kyoshin Paper & Package decided in favor of a Primefire 106 after customer visits by other Primefire 106 users and several machine tests.

“There are three business areas that we want to expand with the Primefire 106,” said Kazuhiro Kajikawa, managing director of the Hacoplay Division. “First, our existing Hacoplay business, where we can now print all Hacoplay jobs on a digital press. Then with Primefire, we want to enter the promising business with paper bags printed in small series. In addition, we want to further expand our BtoB business with POP applications.”
