An operator runs the company’s first Mark Andy Digital Series

US-based WS Packaging with 17 facilities throughout North America, has purchased its second Mark Andy Digital Series hybrid press for the growing sales of its pressure-sensitive labels.

The new press, custom configured to fit the company’s prime label production requirements, will complement its original Digital Series investment, which has been running full production since December 2015. The new press will be installed before the year’s end in the Dallas facility.

The Mark Andy Digital Series is a production-level hybrid solution, supporting high-quality jobs at speeds up to 73 m/m.

‘Mark Andy’s Performance Series is a solid piece of flexo equipment, very accessible, and very easy to operate and get people up to speed on,’ said Ryan Reding, general manager for WS Packaging’s Dallas and Phoenix plants. ‘With the Digital Series, all of the things we learned about flexo over the years are still applicable; it’s just from this section to this section we are laying down digital ink.’

The acquisition of a second Digital Series press is a direct result of this partnership. ‘One of the things that is a huge differentiator is the support and service that Mark Andy has provided us,’ concluded Mr Reding.
