Relevant Packaging invests inRMGT 1060TP press from RM Machineryand hits 40 million impressions on
its RMGT 1050LX press in one year
There’ s that moment when a printing company’ s milestone sheet lands on the delivery pile. The press operator knows it and makes note ofit. For Relevant Packaging in Omaha, Nebraska, the milestone sheet was number 40 million and it happened on the RMGT 1050LX-6 + CC +LD that was purchased and installed by RM Machinery only one year earlier.

Relevant Packaging where VP of Operations
Mr. Gus Gubalke typically rewards his production staff with burgers and bratwursts every

time a press hits a new number of sheets pershift. “A highly capable press that runs like arace car can really motivate employees,” said
Mr. Gubalke. The current record on the 1050LX
is 120,000 sheets during a 12-hour shift.
After having much success with the RMGT
1050LX, Relevant Packaging purchased asecond press from the 10 series, the 1060TP-8(7/1) + CC + LD, to accommodate one of its
biggest clients, Russell Stover Chocolates, Inc.
The 1060TP-8 features skeleton transfer cylinders on its front-side units for printing on
stock up to 0.8 mm thick, while its delivery
section has a polygon type vacuum wheel that
can handle high-speed printing on heavy

stock. It is also has an automatic nonstop
feeder and delivery shutter at the delivery
section that enable continuous printing on
heavy stock. The coating unit can perform
both aqueous and UV varnish coating for
efficient inline processing of a wide selection of coatings. (See diagram below for
main specifications.) Installation of the newpress in September 2023 has proven to be agame-changer for the folding carton firm.
Previously, Relevant Packaging operated anoffset press from another manufacturer that
required multiple passes during production
over the course of seven days.
With the 1060TP, Relevant Packaging was able
to cut production time to only four days for thesame output thanks to the press’ s ability toprint seven colors on one side and an eighthon the other using UV ink in a single pass. The
1060TP receives high marks for productivity
from Mr. Gubalk for performing perfecting andvarnish coating in a single pass that previously required two passes on the company’ s
existing three straight presses. The reduction
in turnaround time increased the company’ s
capacit y and led the team at Relevant
Packaging to reassign much of its folding
carton applications to the RMGT 10 series.

capabilities in quick, easy-to-understanddemonstrations. Because Mr. Gubalke began
his career repairing presses, he knows theminside and out. He can easily demonstrate
how a customer’ s folding carton can go fromgood to great with a 10 series from RMGT. By
investing in high-quality equipment withstate-of-the-art color registration, Relevant
Packaging leaves its customers knowing that
their cartons will surely be the ones to standout on the shelves.
RM Machinery, the master distributor in theUnited States for the RMGT 10 series line, provides prompt, reliable service in addition topress sales. “They do a lot more than just pro-vide solutions for our customers,” said Mr.
Gubalke. “They answer every call. If we need amechanical adjustment, they come out rightaway and they leave the press running verysmoothly. But those types of calls are few andfar between.”
Relevant Packaging expects to expand its customer base and deepen its partnership withRM Machinery. As an SQF (Safe Quality Food)
Certified company serving many clients in thefood industry, Relevant Packaging requires aquality press that can meet certain food andsafety regulations. There will be no one better
than RM Machinery to turn to for these solutions in the future.
