A press is a line of machines that has to go back together exactly as it came apart. Across the Las Vegas metro we take presses and bindery equipment down unit by unit with your technicians, rig and crate each piece, and set them back in order so the press can be brought up again.
Quick answer: Badass Logistics provides printing press moving in Las Vegas, NV and the surrounding metro. We move offset, web, flexo, and digital presses and bindery lines — disassembled with your press technicians, rigged, crated, moved, and reassembled in order. Our crews work across Las Vegas and nearby Nevada metros, and moves between facilities run as project freight under the same plan — usually quoted the same day. Call (307) 284-1332.
Moving a press is mostly a sequencing problem. Each printing unit, the feeder, the delivery, the dryers and the controls come apart in an order, travel as separate loads, and have to reach the new floor in the order they go back down. In Las Vegas, print and packaging shops run tight schedules, so the downtime window is usually what the whole plan is built around.
Badass Logistics works alongside your press technicians or the manufacturer's: they handle the mechanical and electrical disconnects, and we rig, skid, crate, and load each section. At the new site we set the units on the layout and our millwrights level and align them for the technicians to reconnect. Moving the whole plant? That's plant relocation.

Las Vegas's print and packaging base includes Las Vegas Review-Journal printing plant. Shops like these replace and relocate presses on tight downtime windows, so the teardown, the loads, and the reassembly are scheduled as one job.
Printing press moving is a specialist service, so we run it where the sector is concentrated. Outside Las Vegas, the largest of those markets are:
Commercial printers, newspaper plants, and packaging and converting shops around Las Vegas run lines that come apart in sections. The equipment we move includes:
The floor is the constraint. Las Vegas's industrial buildings are large-format distribution and logistics buildings concentrated in the Henderson and Apex industrial parks, built around rail spur access rather than an older urban industrial core, and a press needs a level slab with the capacity for its heaviest unit before anything is set. Most print and converting floors here sit in the Henderson Industrial Park, served by the city-owned BMI Branch rail spur and the Apex Industrial Park north of the city off Interstate 15.
Multi-unit sheetfed presses taken down, moved, and set in sequence across the Las Vegas metro.
Web press units, folders, and reel stands rigged and relocated across the Las Vegas metro.
Flexo, converting, and packaging lines moved for packaging plants across the Las Vegas metro.
Cutters, folders, stitchers, and finishing lines moved and set across the Las Vegas metro.
Plenty of Las Vegas jobs start and finish on one floor. The rest have to travel — to a new building across the metro, a sister plant down I-15 and I-80, or a facility in another state. We don't hand that part off. It runs as project freight inside the same plan: machines crated or prepped on site, loads sequenced to the rig-out, transport through our licensed broker and carrier partners with dedicated capacity for bigger moves, and our crew waiting at the destination to set it.
