The Xeikon 3020 was specifically designed to address the Chinese 10-inch market for self-adhesive labels
Xiamen Yu Long Printing Co has installed China’s first Xeikon 3020 five-colour press to expand the capabilities of its label and folding carton operation.
Founded in 2004, the company’s portfolio of products includes leaflets, posters, brochures and packing boxes. Its key customers are from the garment, health and beauty sectors.
‘Our maximum width of converting lines for coating, foiling and die cutting is 10 inches, which is why the 3020 format is a perfect fit,’ explained Mr Li Yin Long, director. ‘The ability to print variety of substrates, including PP, PET, PE, paper and metallised paper, was also important in our decision to buy. It fits the size and speed of our finishing equipment, and the Xeikon ICE toner allows us to work successfully with heat-sensitive material.’
He continued, ‘We also liked having the flexibility of upgrading both speed and size later without a huge investment. We have been pleasantly surprised with the press’s output and quality. In the first month using a single shift, we produced more than 50,000 metres of print, and we are planning to start a second shift soon.’
‘Xeikon’s installed base in China is growing fast, and there are many more opportunities for growth in the label sector,’ commented Jackie Chen of Xeikon Greater China.
