Label Solutions invests in second Screen press

President of Label Solutions, Karen Stevens, noted that the new press resulted in ink savings of 20 percent compared to its replacement, a percentage they expect to increase with the installation of the second press. 

The Truepress Jet L350UV SAI has been integrated with Label Solutions’ existing workflow and color management software. The training and service team at Screen Americas is now collaborating with the staff at Label Solutions to achieve a goal of 95 percent uptime for the company’s platform. 

‘The print quality is amazing,’ said Stevens. ‘The size of the dot is small, which allows for a great image. We’ve never had a digital press that printed with this type of quality before.’

Label Solutions had a unique start in 1989 when the company, then under a different name, was part of an establishment that manufactured and sold household paint. The organization purchased a press to print its labels for paint cans. In 2000, the label portion of the business separated from the household goods business and became a stand-alone label manufacturer. 

The company has nearly 40 employees and operates in an impressive 40,000 sqft facility. Prime labels, custom labels, labels containing multiple SKUs, short-run labels and consecutive bar code labels are manufactured daily for various industries, including compressed gas, which accounts for 50 percent of the company’s business, food, beverage and nutraceuticals.
