Digital Printing Opportunities in the Packaging Segment
For example, ProLabel, Inc., a Miami, Fla.-based high-quality manufacturer of labels founded by Ramon Fernandez in 1995, recently added a Xeikon 3030 digital press to accommodate a growing demand for shorter runs. ProLabel's customers needed shorter label runs produced in quicker turnaround times and at lower cost. Joachim explains, "In addition to meeting current customer needs, short-run labels represented a significant growth opportunity for Fernandez's business. The flexographic technology that ProLabel had initially built its business on required much longer runs to be cost effective, and longer lead times, compared to digital technology."
