SixB adds digital with Epson SurePress

SixB Labels said the addition of digital complements its other printing and finishing processes, such as flexo, foil stamping and embossing.

Designed for prime label converters and commercial printers, the Epson SurePress L-4033AW is a seven-color inkjet digital label press with white ink that is designed to make high-quality, short-run label printing easier and more efficient, even on clear and metallic substrates.

Fari Bakhshian, president of SixB Labels, said: ‘As a company, our priority lies first in capability, then in quality and reliability. That's one of the reasons we chose the Epson SurePress – it gives us the capability to print on a large range of substrates and the quality is exceptional, making it a perfect match for us.

‘For 35 years we have provided flexo, cold- and hot-foil stamping and blind embossing, and now by adding digital printing with the Epson SurePress, we will be one of the very few companies across the country that can offer any combination of these services.’

Bakhshian added: ‘Our customers are very important to us, so we wanted to find a way to produce a smaller volume of labels economically. The Epson digital press allows us to take care of a wide breadth of customers – not only the company that wants 60 million labels, but also the smaller customer who wants 3,000 labels and still expects very high-quality output.

‘The SurePress allows us to satisfy that need. Our smallest customers don't have to feel any less significant than our bigger clients because they are still getting top notch quality.’

Mark Elsbernd, North America region sales manager at Epson America, added: ‘SixB Labels is dedicated to providing customers with special attention to service and total customer satisfaction, making them an ideal company to implement the Epson SurePress digital label press.

‘With the ability to print short-run, high-quality labels on various substrates, the Epson SurePress L-4033AW provides SixB a cost-effective solution for creating custom labels for the smallest to the biggest customers without comprising on quality.’
