US-based converter increases its labeling portfolio and production capacity.

Western States Envelope and Label has acquired a Mark Andy Digital HD press for its label production plant in Sun Prairie, WI. The new machine enables Western States to increase its label offerings with the extended gamut of digital print and top industry speeds.

Founded in 1908 by George F Moss, Western States Envelope and Label has been one of the industry leaders in envelope and label manufacturing and continues today as a family-run and owned company.

The Mark Andy Digital HD label press is designed with Business Responsive Technology combining highly configurable in-line converting and processing with high-quality digital printing at production-level speeds.

‘We are very excited about our recent acquisition of this incredible Mark Andy Digital HD press – adding to our all-star lineup of label presses,’ said Steve Bayerlein, CEO of Western States Envelope. ‘We have been looking to enhance our label offerings by utilizing the technology and innovation of today’s newest presses.

‘Now, we have the tool to better service our customers every day. Its high-resolution digital print (1,200 DPI) combined with a production capacity (up to 400 f/min) in a single pass will produce a quality label every time – in record time.

‘Our goal, at Western States, has always been to provide unsurpassed customer service to our customers. We strive to be partners with our customers, not just vendors. With our new Mark Andy Digital HD, our customers are going to continue to receive top-notch service and a quality label product – the way it has for five generations.’
