Vicky Waine and Peter Lindsay beside the new Xeikon 3030
PeterLynn Ltd, based in Corby has invested in a new Xeikon 3030 digital label press, with ABG Digiicon finishing line. The new purchase is part of a growth strategy at the company that has added an adjacent business unit to house the new digital equipment.
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 Lindsay.
Vicky Waine, Sales & Marketing Manager for PeterLynn, is delighted with the addition of the new digital capability: “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.
The food safe properties of Xeikon’s QA-I toner product were an obvious attraction of the Belgian manufacturers product. “This aspect alone opens up the door of a number of food manufacturing companies here in Corby,” added Ms Waine.
Established in 1985 PeterLynn manufactures custom roll labels, plain paper labels, laser labels, tickets and tags. It provides a range of products for specific applications, including synthetic label materials, creating quality label, ticket and tag products.
