Label Solutions invests in Xeikon digital label press

Essex-based label firm Label Solutions has invested in a Xeikon 3030 digital label press.

This latest investment by the company follows its recent announcement that it is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year.

According to Xeikon, the company has had ten years of “successful flexographic printing”.

The press is capable of handling a wide range of substrates including self-adhesive label stocks, paper, transparent and opaque foils, and paperboard.

‘Printing solutions’

Label Solutions managing director Leslie Burden said: “We have been examining the digital market for the last year, along with the printing solutions available to us.

“Undoubtedly, digital has been exhibiting extremely fast growth in the label sector in recent years, and we believe that the time is right for us to offer our own solution for customers in this sector of the market.

“Despite the current economic uncertainty, we have just had our busiest year with regard to flexo based production, so we believe that now is an ideal time for us to invest in the next stage of our business growth.

“Digital will enable us to offer something different to our existing customers, and also provide us with the tools to enter new markets.”

Xeikon UK  sales director  Greg Neesham said: “We are, of course, delighted that Leslie and his team have decided to install a Xeikon solution for their digital label production – the first Xeikon label press in Essex.

“It is an ideal way for the company to celebrate its tenth anniversary!”
