Labels on Demand chooses Vetaphone for nutraceutical work

Arizona-based Labels on Demand has installed three Vetaphone VE1A corona treaters, two of them to a GM DC350 Flex line, and one to an HP 6000 digital toner engine.

The label converter, established in 2022 by Travis St Denis and now employing 12 staff, specializes in printing and converting 4-color labels for the nutraceutical industry. Focusing on seamless integration with its portfolio of customers, the company’s services include roll label printing, labeling and re-labeling, secondary packaging, palletizing, kitting, QC inspections, lot code/expiration printing and product reworks. 

Production at Labels on Demand is fully digital and uses some of the most advanced varnishing equipment on the market. 

Patrick Beetler, manager of label production, commented: ‘We are using mostly white filmic and metallic substrates with hologram effects, so we needed to be sure of good ink and varnish adhesion – and that’s exactly what we get with Vetaphone corona treatment.’

Two of the VE1A treaters are fitted to a GM DC350 Flex line, and one to an HP 6000 digital toner engine.

‘Fully digital means we can change on the fly, at no expense and with no downtime, so short runs can be processed cost-effectively and delivered in no time at all. We offer 3D textured gloss varnish and inline color calibration to ensure each label is consistent with brand standards. And you can’t guarantee that without the best technology available,’ added Beetler.

Beetler also praised the service and support he receives from Vetaphone in the US, based around a parts store and supply facility hosted by The Harman Company in Richardson, TX.

Eric Hopfensperger, Vetaphone’s US-based support technician, said: ‘We have a team dedicated to supporting our US customers locally. We’re close to DFW airport, so we can supply most parts the following day, which is at least as good as any of our US competitors.’

‘Vetaphone’s unique approach to surface treatment and the design of all our corona treaters make maintenance and changing out critical components from local stock at The Harman Company fast and easy. Labels on Demand runs our treaters virtually round the clock, so maintenance and access to stocked components is imperative, and we have supported them several times in a matter of hours,’ concluded Rod Ambrose, Vetaphone’s sales manager.
