Green Light for Commercial Production at Smurfit Westrock in Herzberg

Case Studies



Successful Completion of the Q-SAT

We are proud to announce the successful completion of the Quality Site Acceptance Test (Q-SAT) at Smurfit Westrock in Herzberg.

Delta SPC 130 Exceeds Performance Expectations

We proved it again: with our Delta SPC 130, performance goes beyond expectations. Not only does it shine on coated substrates, but it also unlocks outstanding results on uncoated brown and white board, powered by our digital primer and water-based white.

Official Start of Commercial Production

This successful test marks the official start of commercial production. We at Koenig & Bauer Durst are excited about this next step and look forward to a continued successful partnership with the Smurfit Westrock team!

VariJET 106 Reaches Continuous Production Milestone

General News, Innovation


Koenig & Bauer Durst is entering a new phase in the VariJET 106 journey as beta and series machines deliver exceptional performance in daily production across Europe.

Two beta presses in Switzerland and Germany and a first series machine are now in continuous operation. Every month, they produce hundreds of thousands of high-quality folding cartons for a wide variety of sectors, including cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, industrial goods, food packaging, and tobacco.

Successful Installations and Expansion into Poland

A major milestone is also underway in Poland, where a new VariJET 106 is currently being installed – further information following soon!

Efficiency Gains Driven by Digital Technology

Based on an in-depth analysis of the customer’s real production data, Koenig & Bauer Durst identified striking efficiency improvements: significant cost and waste reductions, increasing overall press room efficiency, lower energy use, and new business potential through the possibilities of digital technology such as versioning and variable data printing.

The findings underline the approach of partnering with customers to develop individual solutions that transform their operations, rather than simply supplying technology.

Close Customer Collaboration as a Key Success Factor

“Every installation is a close collaboration,” says Tom Sander, Product Manager for the VariJET 106. “By analysing individual customer data, production conditions, and needs, we make sure each VariJET 106 unlocks measurable improvements – in cost, time, and sustainability – and changes their business. The strong feedback from our beta users and the enthusiasm we see at live events confirm that the VariJET 106 is delivering on its promise.”

Growing Demand and International Events

Koenig & Bauer Durst continues to expand VariJET 106 customer events throughout 2026, reflecting the growing global demand for digital printing in the folding carton market.

Live Demonstrations and Open House in Radebeul

Over the coming weeks, several groups of international visitors will experience the VariJET 106 live at customer sites. Some of them will then travel to the Open House in Radebeul on April 28, where the VariJET will once again be the centerpiece of live demonstrations.
