Continental Datalabel has installed three Mark Andy Performance Series P5 presses. The 430mm wide P5 presses, each equipped with eight flexo stations, are the first eight-colour machines for the printer.
The press configurations are identical at each plant, equipped with Quick Change Die Cut technology, a cold foil unit and smart blade system.
The label printer realised the need for additional operating capacity when press workloads started to increase and its overall customer base was growing. These factors coupled with customer demands for shorter leads times pushed the company’s R&D team on a hunt for a new production solution.
The addition of the new P5 presses will help support growing demand for intricate label designs and enable Continental Datalabel to expand its range in the custom label sector.
Pat Flynn, president and COO, commented, ‘Our distributor partners now have a single platform to support their jobs across the country. Customers will see the same high-quality results across all three locations. This ensures brand consistency, while leveraging quick delivery and reduced shipping expenses.’
