POST-PRESS PROCESSING:
NEARING THE FINISH LINE TO OURPOWER ZONE
We once again demonstrate all that we can do - in all disciplines
Our customers call us “speciality printers” because, also during post-press processing runs on their printed matter, we do not work according to pre-set patterns, but we always come up with new ideas... As one of the most innovative sheet-fed and web offset printing works in Germany, our particular strengths lie in the perfect handling of large numbers of impressions combined with short production times. We handle complex print productions quickly and efficiently, using the most up-to-date machinery and units that can be combined in many different ways.

Assembly and packaging: handmade by B&K
Assembly with us means manual work processes such as filling displays, finishing and inserting booklets, inserts and supplements, stickers and ad specials in magazines, journals, catalogues or brochures – as "the icing on the cake" to round off advertising packages. These operations are largely carried out in-house at B&K by qualified staff. This helps us create and secure jobs in the region, save transport costs, reduce CO2 emissions, and go easy on the environment.
Optimized room air with an energy-saving side effect
Another positive environmental contribution is provided by our cutting-edge extraction system with clean-air fan. This system "uncomplainingly“ vacuums up all the paper shreds and dusts created by our cutting and folding machines, with an ingenious pipe system conveying them into a compacting container whose contents are recycled 1:1.
The energy-saving side effect: In the winter months, the cleaned air is fed back into the production hall, making ventilation-related heat-losses a thing of the past at B&K.
