Secura Labels looks to add digital

Secura Labels is a UK manufacturer of self-adhesive labels for multiple sectors, including logistics, food, pharmaceutical, hospital trusts, security, packaging and automotive, and is capable of producing small runs for promotional products to fulfilling 100,000,000-plus orders. Turnover currently sits at around 2.2 million GBP (3.2 million USD), with the largest customer capped at around 10 percent of turnover.

Activities

In its facility, which the company moved into last year, Secura Labels operates a quartet of flexo press, including two Nilpeter F-200 models (one 6-color and one 3-color) and two Focus Label Machinery presses (one 4-color and one 2-color). These are supported by two AB Graphic Omega slitter rewinders, positioned off-line and converting printed labels. It also operates a thermal transfer bureau, with three printers and also the ability to service its customers with thermal transfer consumables, such as Armor ribbons, in a short lead time. Secura produces thousands of labels through its thermal transfer bureau service each week.

Other elements of Secura Labels’ offering include hot stamping, with a Newfoil hot foil stamping machine on its pressroom floor and in-house platemaking abilities, with a Babiflex A3 processing unit on hand to produce plates when needed to support its flexo presses.

For some jobs, multiple elements of its operations combine to produce labels for customers, using any combination of flexo, thermal transfer and hot foil.

Secura Labels has also recently made the investment in an X-Rite spectrophotometer in order to enhance its color-matching capabilities and meet the needs of some clients for exact colors.
