Platinum Press Inc. Completes $15M Expansion in Fort Worth, TX

Grows its overall floor space by nearly 50% to 220,000 square feet.

Platinum Press Inc. (PPI), a provider of printed packaging solutions, has completed a $15 million expansion and infrastructure enhancement at its headquarters in Fort Worth, TX.

The company has further bolstered its capabilities and capacity to meet current and expected business growth in a project that grows its overall floor space by nearly 50% to 220,000 square feet.

One aspect of the multifaceted expansion is increased space for manufacturing, inventory storage, final product warehousing and logistics, all toward the goal of shortening lead times while reinforcing overall quality. The initiative also increased Platinum Press’ overall staff to 300.

Among the expansion’s highlights are two new Koenig & Bauer Rapida 106 X Printing Presses. The fully automated presses are two of the first such machines utilized in the United States. Each can produce up to 18,000 sheets per hour.

Platinum Press also incorporated a new digital press from prominent provider Durst. The Durst Tau RSCi Digital Press can produce vibrant, seven-color ‘true’ 1200×1200-pixel resolution even at maximum speeds and can utilize FDA-compliant inks for indirect food/drug contact. The machine’s offline finishing units allow small-run specialty products to be produced efficiently and effectively.

Concurrent with the expansion and infrastructure investment, Platinum Press has plans to introduce several new packaging solutions in the coming months.

“The floorspace expansion and infrastructure investments at our Fort Worth headquarters address both growing customer demands and evolving industry needs,” said Andrew Vale, Vice President of Platinum Press. “As we simultaneously heighten capacity and extend capabilities across a number of categories, Platinum Press is paving the way for several new product introductions throughout 2024 and beyond.”
