“What makes it special is the people.”

That’s how Amy Burton describes her experience at KURZ USA after nearly 10 years with the company.

Amy joined KURZ in 2016 as a Payroll and Benefits Administrator after a close friend recommended her for the position. What started as a career opportunity became something much more meaningful.

Over the years, Amy has worked with employees across the country, building relationships from North Carolina to California and gaining valuable insight into the people who make KURZ successful every day.

When asked what stands out most about her journey, the answer is simple:

“What makes it special is the people. Along the way, I’ve built friendships that feel more like family, and that’s what has made this journey so rewarding.”

Thank you, Amy, for everything you do to support our employees and strengthen the KURZ community.

Packaging is often the first thing a customer notices and one of the last things a brand wants to compromise on.

Creating packaging that stands out visually while holding up to everyday use and meeting production demands is a challenge many brands know well.

In-Mold Labeling (IML) helps bridge that gap by integrating decoration directly into the molding process. The result is a durable, high-quality finish that becomes part of the product itself rather than an added layer.

At KURZ, we work with brands and manufacturers to turn creative packaging ideas into production-ready solutions. Whether the goal is striking shelf appeal, premium visual effects, or consistent quality across large production runs, IML offers a way to bring design ambitions and manufacturing realities together.

Because great packaging combines visual impact with a brand experience that lasts from the shelf to the consumer's hands.

For a long time, discussions around In-Mold Labeling focused primarily on decoration.

How does it look? What visual effects does it enable? How does it help products stand out on the shelf?

Those questions still matter, but they're no longer the only questions being asked.

As packaging teams face growing pressure to simplify structures, improve operational efficiency, support recyclability initiatives, and maintain production stability, the conversation around IML is evolving. Increasingly, it is being evaluated not just as a decoration method, but as an integrated packaging solution.

CANYON helps manufacturers meet these demands through integrated IML solutions that simplify operations and improve production reliability. The result is packaging that delivers both strong shelf appeal AND operational performance.

What factors are shaping your packaging decisions today? Let's connect:

How often does foil usage become a compromise between achieving the desired visual effect and controlling production costs?

DISTORUN® changes that. As the only cold transfer unit capable of applying single-image metallic effects consistently and in perfect register, it enables precise foil indexing. Apply foil only where it is needed, reuse the same foil roll and significantly reducing foil consumption.

By eliminating unnecessary foil waste, you can achieve substantial foil savings while still delivering high-impact metallic effects. Greater control over foil application also supports sharper details, more selective embellishments, and efficient production without sacrificing visual appeal.

The best embellishment technologies don’t just create premium effects - they help make them more sustainable and cost-effective.

Efficiency gains in production rarely come from big changes. More often, they come from small shifts that add up across the entire process.

KURZ slim technology is built around that idea. By reducing carrier thickness, it allows you to run more impressions per roll, extend production cycles, and lower overall material usage - all while maintaining the precision and consistency your applications depend on.

For you, that translates into longer runs, fewer interruptions, and a more efficient use of materials across your operation. It also means less weight in logistics, reduced waste, and measurable progress toward your sustainability targets without compromising performance.

Because when your process becomes more efficient, sustainability follows naturally.

Dog owners invest time researching the right food for their pets, carefully considering ingredients, health needs, and dietary requirements. They trust that what they're buying is genuine and delivers the quality their dog deserves.

Counterfeit and unauthorized products put that trust at risk.

Reliable authentication creates a simple moment of confirmation at the point of purchase, helping pet owners verify authenticity and access trusted product information with confidence.

KURZ SCRIBOS brand protection solutions help pet food brands protect their reputation while giving dog owners the certainty and peace of mind they rely on.

June goes macro!

For the 2026 KURZ USA calendar, peacock feathers become a lesson in rhythm and reflection.

LUXOR® 220 gold amplifies the iconic “eye” pattern, while directional embossing enhances the natural flow of the feather. Light moves across the surface - not randomly, but intentionally guided.

Movement becomes material.

Because when Hinderer + Mühlich precision stamping dies align with KURZ foil technology, reflective surfaces gain structure turning visual drama into repeatable dimensional impact.

Consistency in embellishment is defined long before production begins.

Every converter knows the pressure: tight tolerances, demanding designs, and the expectation that every sheet, every cycle, delivers the same result. When tool and material aren’t fully aligned, that’s where variability creeps in and time is lost in adjustments.

That’s why a system approach matters. By combining Hinderer + Mühlich hot stamping dies with KURZ foils, the interaction between tool, material, and process is engineered from the start. This creates a more controlled transfer, reduces variability on press, and allows you to run with greater confidence - even in high-volume, multi-shift environments.

The difference shows up where it counts: fewer interruptions, more predictable output, and a process you can rely on.

If consistency is critical to your operation, it’s worth looking at where it actually begins. Get in touch for your personal die x foil bundle here: https://www.kurzusa.com/contact/contact-form/

“What I found instead was a home.”

That’s how Teeling describes the moment she joined KURZ 31 years ago, not knowing it would become something far more meaningful than just a job.

Over the years, that starting point turned into a journey shaped by hands-on experience, new challenges, and the kind of growth you can only build over time. From the production floor to management, every step added a new perspective on what it takes to keep things running and moving forward.

Today, that journey shows in how she sees the company:
“Rising through the ranks from machine operator to management has given me a unique perspective on our success. I don’t just work here; I feel a part of the very fabric of this company. My pride in our growth is matched only by my gratitude for the journey.”

It’s a reminder that careers aren’t always defined by where you start, but by what you’re able to build along the way - and who you build it with.
