CS Labels hopes to increase its production capacity by a third with the installation of the new press and expects the Xeikon Cheetah to be a key enabler for continuing its year-on-year growth of up to 25% and taking turnover to £4m annually.

Considered to be one of the fastest digital label presses on the market, the Xeikon Cheetah is capable of printing at speeds of 30m per minute.

The 1200 x 3600 dpi digital press specializes in the production of self-adhesive and pressure sensitive labels.

Due to the use of Xeikon's ICE toner technology which requires a lower fusing temperature than typical toner-based presses , the Xeikon Cheetah is capable of printing on a variety of heat-sensitive substrates.

CS Labels managing director Simon Smith said: "Over the past few years, we have led the way when it comes to helping companies make the switch from traditional flexo printing to digital. Adding the Xeikon Cheetah means that we can make even bigger inroads into a rapidly growing marketplace and a dynamically changing landscape."

Xeikon Segment Marketing Labels and Packaging director Filip Weymans said: "Selecting CS Labels as a flagship site was an easy decision.

"Their thought leadership and brave commitment to digital printing and packaging continues to pay off and I am pleased they are alongside us as we move into the next stage of the industry revolution."
