UK converter CS Labels has named Emma Winton as business development manager, specifically with the remit to deliver opportunities for the company’s pouch division.

Ms Winton joined the world of flexible packaging in 2017, and in three short years has acquired a wealth of experience and knowledge, supporting businesses of all shapes and sizes with their packaging needs, and has assisted start-ups and new product development, through to managing full rebrands of globally recognised ranges.

Ms Winton comes to CS Labels having worked at Ultimate Digital and ePac Flexible Packaging, generating leads and new business as those two companies sought to expand their footprint in the market for digitally printed flexible packaging. CS Labels is also involved in digital flexible packaging, having helped Xeikon innovate in this space with fleXflow, and launching its own dedicated division, CS Pouches.

Ms Winton said, ‘I love to learn about brands; really understand their journeys, where they’ve been and where they want to go – supporting them at each step along the way. I’m thrilled to be joining CS at such an exciting time, as the whole team has such passion not only for the business but for their customers’ ambitions and how they can help to make that happen.’

Simon Smith, CS Labels managing director, added, ‘Emma joins us at a truly exciting time. Both the flexible packaging industry and CS have developed real momentum in 2020, and Emma will be part of our continued successes. She brings a fresh energy to the business, and her expertise and knowledge will undoubtedly complement our growing team.’

CS Labels is a long-time user of Xeikon digital printing technology, including a fleet of CX3 presses, and complementary converting technology from the likes of GM and Karlville. Earlier this year, it installed a Xeikon PX3000 inkjet digital label press.

CS Labels is also a member of the Digital Labels & Packaging Industry Group, a network of printers and converters at the forefront of digital package printing, and who are using the technology to help brands stand out in an increasingly competitive market.
