Domino has sold a 7-color N610i inkjet press to Belgian converter Label-Pak International on the first day of Labelexpo Europe 2019. The press will be delivered directly to the Belgian-based label converter immediately after the show. Although Label-Pak is not a newcomer to digital technology, this represents its first step into digital ink jet printing.
“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 realized that in order to be able to offer our customers a complete range of printing solutions, we also needed to invest in digital ink jet technology,” said Xavier de Vos – chief operating officer of Label-Pak International.
Established in 1968, the family-owned business located in Wavre employs 31 people and produces self-adhesive labels and non-adhesive cardboard labels for their customers from the food and beverage, personal care, chemical, health and safety, security, household and logistics sectors based in Belgium, Luxembourg, the north of France and the Netherlands.
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-color dual sided, multi-page, dry-peel and coupon labels, to security, reseal and scratch off labels.
Xavier added, “We knew that it was time to invest in digital ink jet, 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 ink jet 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 colors. The 7 color Domino N610i UV ink jet label press provides the perfect solution, enabling us to deliver the wide gamut of colors our customers require.”
