About Us












Curtis is continually adding new technology, so we can offer you better packaging solutions. Example: Our new KBA Rapida Large Format, 51” press is the first of its kind in North America. It’s designed specifically to make metallic printing effects more attractive and more cost effective. We can simulate Foil Laminated Board and Hot Foil Stamping at a fraction of the cost. Our technological edge: our KBA Rapida begins with a Special Fx Applicator / Dryer, followed by 8 Printing Stations and concludes with a 2nd Special Fx Applicator / Dryer unit. The initial Special Fx Applicator gives us the ability to apply the essential elements of your choice — gold, silver, copper, platinum or bronze — right at the start of the printing process and all in a single pass.

Our advantages don’t stop at printing. Our workflow is streamlined from start to finish. Here’s a partial preview. . .
