KBA North America announces that Royal Paper Box, a leading Montebello, CA folding carton converter, has made another impressive new addition to its pressroom: a second new KBA 41-inch sheetfed press. The prestigious firm caters to a globally diverse customer base including high-end cosmetics and demanding bio-medical packaging.
“We feel the addition of a second KBA press later this year will significantly enhance and complement our pressroom,” says Jim Hodges, president of Royal Paper Box. “Our commitment to our customers is an obsession for us. We’re constantly seeking to deliver the best work in the most proficient way. We have a sterling reputation for on-time delivery and consistent quality, order after order.”
For Royal Paper Box, which is a global leader in the packaging field, a second new KBA brings numerous advantages.
These include a powerful ability to print at high speeds, top-flight automation bringing efficiency gains in makeready and running speeds, and an improved production schedule.
“Throughout more than 70 years in business, our company has been dedicated to our customer’s needs,” says Hodges. “Our focus is to produce ‘packaging that sells your product’ while we keep our commitment to quality, service, and speed-to-market.”
Founded in 1940, Royal Paper Box Company has been an industry leading provider of folding carton packaging solutions that have met the needs of its globally diverse customer base. Hodges’ father, Clary, along with a group of investors and employees, bought out the founder in 1956. Jim Hodges joined the company after serving in the Marines. Together the father-son team expanded the company with a sterling reputation of consistent high quality, on-time delivery, state of the art facilities, trained personnel and outstanding customer service. Today the company sits on 10 acres in a 172,000 sq ft facility with 175 employees.
