Expanding Production Capacity with Advanced Label Printing Technology
Advance Labels, a UK-based label printing company, has taken a significant step forward by installing a second Proflex 330 flexographic press from Focus Label Machinery. This strategic move is designed to enhance the company's production capacity and expand its capabilities in medium to high-volume label manufacturing. The new press complements an existing Proflex 330 that is already in operation, reinforcing Advance Labels' commitment to staying at the forefront of the industry.
The Proflex 330 is engineered for flexible and high-speed production, featuring a modular design that allows for future upgrades. This adaptability ensures that the press can be configured in various ways to meet different application needs. According to Focus Label Machinery, the system’s versatility makes it ideal for a wide range of label production requirements.
David Gregory, managing director of Advance Labels, highlighted the importance of this investment. He stated, “At Advance Labels, we are constantly seeking new and improved manufacturing processes and have made this substantial investment in state-of-the-art printing technology.” As a family-owned business, Advance Labels prides itself on maintaining a 100% staff retention rate, which reflects its strong family-mindset business ethics.
Gregory also emphasized the long-term partnership between Advance Labels and Focus Label Machinery. “This latest investment represents a further continuation of our partnership with Focus and supports our growth in the market,” he said. Over the past three years, the company has experienced consistent growth, with an annual increase of around 20%.
Key Features of the Proflex 330 Press
The Proflex range includes both servo and line shaft models, making it suitable for a variety of production environments. It also features fast-change cylinder systems and multiple drying technologies such as infrared (IR), ultraviolet (UV), and light-emitting diode (LED) UV. These technologies ensure efficient and high-quality printing, even on challenging substrates.
Focus Label Machinery offers a 250mm-wide version of the press, catering to smaller-scale production needs. The company provides solutions for printing on various materials, including unsupported films and cartons. This flexibility allows Advance Labels to serve a broader range of clients and applications.
In addition to flexographic presses, Focus Label Machinery supplies hybrid and digital presses, as well as finishing solutions tailored to the narrow web printing market. This comprehensive range of products enables businesses like Advance Labels to streamline their operations and improve efficiency.
