Label Plus installs Queensland’s first L350UV SAI printing press

Commercial label printing specialist, Label Plus, has become the first Queensland, Australia-based company to invest in a Screen L350UV SAI inkjet press, sold and installed by Jet Technologies.

Label Plus offers a wide variety of self-adhesive labels from its production site in Luscombe, Queensland, with its sister-company, Labelhouse, based in Melbourne, Victoria. Its printing production includes flexography, offset and digital and its diverse customer-base is across pharma, health and beauty, chemical, food, household and wine.

‘Our company’s objective is to achieve complete customer satisfaction in all facets of our operations and to be a preferred supplier within the printing industry,’ said James Atkins, general manager of Label Plus. ‘Therefore, our focus is on providing excellent quality, whilst maintaining a flexible approach to production, thus offering short lead times at a competitive price.

‘In a challenging industry, Label Plus has evolved into a dynamic organization, by seeking and embracing new technologies and systems. We’re excited to be elevating our printing quality and customer service even higher with the addition of the L350UV SAI.’

The L350UV SAI supports printers to significantly increase turn-around speeds for digital printing jobs by automating the process. With its software-generated ‘lead in, lead out’ and ‘reverse-feed’ functions, the system also works to considerably lower ink and material waste, reducing overhead costs and improving sustainability standards within operations.

The L350UV offers seven vibrant colors at 60m/min, (50m/min when using white) and is fully supported by local Jet Technologies and Screen factory-trained engineers.

‘We’re excited to have partnered with Label Plus to enhance their digital printing production and provide the company with the necessary edge to remain on top in a competitive industry,’ said David Reece, sales director of Jet Technologies. ‘Installation and training on the L350UV has now been completed and the printing press is not only meeting, but exceeding Label Plus’ well-informed expectations.’

Label Plus added the L350UV SAI to their digital label production capabilities after a very thorough evaluation process of a number of options, including spending time with Jet Technologies in the UK at some impressive L350UV SAI users, in order to properly understand the benefits and how it was being utilized in another sophisticated market.
