The family run business previously operated several letterpress machines before starting their expansion with the purchase of an Edale FL-1 twin stack press for self-adhesive labels and have already seen a huge increase in productivity compared to their previous letterpress machines.
Alongside the compact press, Etiq Color also purchased an FL-5 Flex Pack fully servo driven flexopress which is dedicated for packaging applications and long run label jobs ideal for a range of substrates from 12-450 micron.
The company decided to expand the business into three dedicated label printing divisions to compliment the varying applications in the field. Packaging products were another reason for them to move across into flexo enabling them to print on a wider range of materials, such as unsupported film for wraparound labels, shrink sleeves and other "more exotic" substrates.
