PeterLynn Ltd in Corby has installed a Xeikon 3030 digital label press. This coincides with the expansion of the company, which has taken over an adjacent business unit to house the new press.
James Lindsay, general manager of PeterLynn, said: ‘The digital label printing sector continues to grow, and become an increasingly important part of the label industry as a whole. As a dynamic, growing business, the investment in digital equipment at this point in time made great sense for us, and the physical expansion into a second industrial unit was a necessary addition as space was becoming a limiting factor.’
The Xeikon 3030 digital label press hardware is supported by the installation of a multi-function offline Digicon finishing station, capable of providing hot-foil, varnish, lamination and cold foiling. ‘The full package of high-speed digital printing and value-added finishing provides an unrivalled suite of the very latest in label creation technology. This equipment will allow us to expand our business into areas of the market that we have not ventured into previously,’ added Mr James.
Vicky Waine, sales and marketing manager of PeterLynn, added: ‘The purchase of the Xeikon machine means that we can offer our customers high quality, short-run four-colour labels without incurring expensive plate and set-up costs. This makes it ideal for the shorter run requirements that are becoming more typical of the market, with many customers seeking to reduce their inventory.
‘With no minimum order quantity, and free 100% accurate press proofs, digitally printed labels from our Xeikon 3030 digital press offer the ultimate in production speed and flexibility at an affordable price. Digital colour labels are ideal for customers who require high quality labels over multiple designs, or even where the label requires variable data such as serial numbers or barcodes.’
The food safe properties of Xeikon’s QA-I toner product were an attraction. ‘This aspect alone opens up the door of a number of food manufacturing companies here in Corby, ‘ added Ms Waine.
PeterLynn will hold an open day for trade customers on 28 November order to show off the capabilities of the new product line to customers and prospects.
