Welcome to The Kansas City Star's Press Pavilion.

The Star boasts one of the most modern newspaper facilities in the world. It took two city blocks, three years and $200 million to make The Kansas City Star's printing facility a reality. By replacing antiquated presses with state-of-the-art, computer-controlled systems, The Star now leads the industry in high-quality newspaper publishing in North America. The same type of KBA presses are used to print 100% of all North American currency and 90% of the world's currency. Our sleek, modern glass building stands eight stories tall, allowing passers-by to view the printing process.
