Some of the sweets and labels produced by the company
Promotional confectionery supplier The Sweet People has invested in an Epson SurePress L-4033AW digital label press for its short-run, personalised label and packaging production.
The SurePress has enabled the UK confectionary company (formerly Liquid Lens) to cut output time and reduce production costs since expanding its product range and moving into packaging. The firm can produce up to 100,000 labels per week at peak times, 50% of which goes through the SurePress.
‘There are no limits on orders and we handle large volume runs with the same care and attention as we do small campaigns,’ explained director Mandy Hastie. ‘It’s introduced a whole new way of working for us and I can see that we are going to be able to utilise it for a number of new products in the future.’
The seven-colour digital label press with white ink runs alongside an offline die-cutting machine that die-cuts, varnishes, strips and slits the labels. The press uses SurePress AQ inks, which are low migration and meet food regulation standards.
