Mark Andy Digital One
US label and flexible packaging manufacturer, Custom Printed Products, has added digital capability to its business through the acquisition of a Mark Andy Digital One.
Custom Printed Products (CPP) is a longtime industry player based in Louisiana with nearly 50 years in the business. The company employs over 100 staff and runs a fleet of 10 Mark Andy presses.
Richard Nicholson, president, began the search for a digital label press when the company noticed a substantial increase in work that was outsourced. These jobs were shorter runs and had application requirements that were only achievable on a digital device.
The label manufacturer decided to partner with Mark Andy because of the pay-as-you print model with no click charges and the affordable capital investment level of the Digital One press; the team was also impressed with the ability to retrofit all of its tooling.
Since installation, CPP runs 8000 to 10,000 feet per day on the digital hybrid machine. The company has a varied book of business and prints a variety of labels ranging from motor oil labels to the wine and beer market. Moving short run work from a legacy Mark Andy press to the new digital press has provided the ability to fully utilise the full production flexo press.
Mr Nicholson said, ‘All in all, the Digital One has been a great addition to our business. It has given us the ability to bring work back in-house that we were previously outsourcing. Not to mention, how easy it is to send a PDF to the machine to get set up.’
