Belgium-based Label-Pak International has invested in a Domino N610i, its first step into inkjet digital printing.
Established in 1968, Label-Pak produces self-adhesive labels and non-adhesive cardboard labels for customers from the food and beverage, personal care, chemical, health and safety, security, household and logistics sectors, who are located across Benelux and the north of France.
Using a combination of analogue and digital printing technologies with added capabilities for screen printing, cold foiling and lamination, Label-Pak delivers an extensive variety of labels ranging from simple logistics labels to elaborate 10-colour dual sided, multi-page, dry-peel and coupon labels, to security, reseal and scratch off labels.
Label-Pak has been a user of digital printing technology for a handful of years but has now taken the decision to add inkjet in an effort to further its capability to deliver more SKUs with shorter print runs.
This has led it to invest in a seven-colour Domino N610i inkjet label press.
Label-Pak chief operating officer Xavier de Vos said, ‘We first invested in digital printing technology 4-5 years ago in response to increased customer demand for shorter print runs and multiple SKUs. This trend has continued to increase and we soon realised that in order to be able to offer our customers a complete range of printing solutions, we also needed to invest in digital inkjet technology.
‘We knew that it was time to invest in digital inkjet, so we researched the market and one of our most important criteria was to work with a company that had a strong history and heritage of developing inkjet systems. We approached Domino and were immediately impressed both by the excellent service and high print quality of the sample tests we undertook. To meet our customer demands, we needed a label press that could deliver an extensive range of vibrant colours. The seven-colour Domino N610i UV inkjet label press provides the perfect solution, enabling us to deliver the wide gamut of colours our customers require.’
He continued, ‘We are delighted to be taking this step into digital printing in partnership with Domino, whose extensive experience of developing and manufacturing proven and reliable inkjet technology was a contributory factor in our decision to invest in the Domino N610i. This new investment into digital inkjet will supplement and complement our existing printing technologies, enabling us to expand our business and product offering to our customers, which in turn, will create new business opportunities for them in the future.’
