CS Labels has added the new Xeikon Cheetah digital press to its print armoury bringing the company’s pressroom portfolio up to five Xeikon digital presses.
The new addition will enable CS Labels to increase capacity by yet another third, and the company expects the Cheetah to be a key enabler for continuing its year-on-year growth of up to 25%. As one of the fastest digital label presses on the market with printing speeds of 30 m/min, the press is 56% faster than any other press in the current Xeikon portfolio, making it the most productive digital press in its class.
‘I am delighted that we have been selected to pioneer this technology and integrate it into our production portfolio,’ stated Simon Smith, managing director. ‘Over the past few years, we have led the way when it comes to helping companies make the switch from traditional flexo printing to digital. Adding the Cheetah means that we can make even bigger inroads into a rapidly growing marketplace and a dynamically changing landscape. In our view, digital has not been seen as short run/high cost for some time now as brand owners gain a deeper understanding of its many advantages. We have noticed a real growth in demand for longer digital print runs, culminating with an order for 50,000 linear meters at the end of last year. Our higher end clients are up to date with what is possible and our expanded production capacity will give them even more confidence. Quite simply, the Cheetah will enable us to cope with increased demand while continuing to deliver jobs quickly and accurately.’
