The partnership with EFI will allow K-1 to strengthen its focus on efficiency and accelerated customer service for its consumer product customers.

The installation will consolidate different product workflows, processes and information currently confined to separate management systems, boosting K-1 Packaging's operational efficiency.

Many K-1 customers purchase some combination of folding cartons, labels and flexible packaging and the mix of products creates a number of repetitive, manual processes that come with running multiple, disparate systems.

K-1 Packaging president Mike said: ‘EFI Radius is designed specifically for packaging workflows and will make our entire management process cleaner and more streamlined. It's going to allow us to capitalize on the huge opportunity we have to become a tighter, more knowledgeable organization..

‘If you look a few years down the road, we could either be looking for a new system, or using the data we have collected with our new system to analyze trends and make proactive changes to improve our business. When it comes to a system like this, there is no benefit to delaying the inevitable.’

David Taylor, general manager of EFI Radius, added: ‘Innovative firms like K-1 Packaging cannot stall their growth opportunities because of disconnected workflows. This is a company that knows how to provide a total packaging solution to its customers and, with Radius, it will now have a powerful, consolidated ERP workflow that handles folding cartons, labels and flexible packaging in one system.’
