Fondly known in Chicago printing circles as the “Polish Prints,” Stanley (Stan) J. Kukla Jr. passed away Dec. 27, 2020, at age 83. Along with his father, Stan Sr., and brothers Fred and Robert, the native Chicagoan founded Kukla Press in 1964, a commercial web offset printing business then-located in Schiller Park, Ill.
Kukla Press, which played a role in the development of scratch and sniff sensory printing and in-line web finishing advancements, continued to expand its business and relocated to Elk Grove Village, Ill., in the mid-1970s. Stan Jr. was responsible for the sales side of the business and was named CEO of Kukla Press following the death of his father in 1975.
