European flexo press manufacturer MPS has reported that South African customer JMB Labels has seen a big growth in its sales volume and customer numbers since installing an MPS EF UV flexo multi-substrate press.

JMB Labels has entered new markets, acquired new customers and achieved an increase in sales since installing an MPS EF UV flexo multi-substrate press

MPS said that a year since the initial installation, JMB Labels has entered new markets, attracted new customers, including FMCG companies, and achieved a 30 percent increase in sales.

Features of MPS EF press installed at JMB Labels include eight UV ink stations and two hot air driers for water-based ink, double die station, delam-relam and web turner bar, laminating and cold foil station, and a film package for unsupported films.

JMB Labels is currently printing self-adhesive labels and unsupported BOPP film, and are in the process of printing on PVC and PET film for the shrink label market.

Aslam Monia, co-owner of JMB Labels, said: ‘The MPS press has improved our production process at all levels.

‘Make-ready times are shorter with the use of printing sleeves as compared to conventional printing cylinders. The short web path facilitates cost saving on material and reduces wastage. Most importantly, print quality is constant throughout the run and it has given us the confidence to target more companies seeking high-end, quality labels and packaging for their products. As a result, we have experienced a 30 percent increase in sales.’
