PeterLynn expands with Xeikon 3030 installation

PeterLynn, based in Corby, UK, has installed a Xeikon 3030 digital label press. The new purchase coincides with the expansion of the company, which has added the adjacent business unit on the Willowbrook North Industry trading estate. This additional space is now housing the new digital equipment.

James Lindsay, general manager of PeterLynn, said: ‘The digital label printing sector continues to grow, and become an increasingly important part of the label industry as a whole. As a dynamic, growing business, the investment in digital equipment at this point in time made great sense for us, and the physical expansion into a second industrial unit was a necessary addition as space was becoming a limiting factor.’

The Xeikon 3030 digital label press is supported by the installation of an offline AB Graphic Digicon finishing station, capable of providing hot-foil, varnish, lamination and cold foiling.

‘The full package of high-speed digital printing and value-added finishing provides an unrivalled suite of the very latest in label creation technology. This equipment will allow us to expand our business into areas of the market that we have not ventured into previously,’ added Lindsay.

Vicky Waine, sales and marketing manager for PeterLynn, said: ‘The purchase of the Xeikon machine means that we can offer our customers high quality, short-run 4-color labels without incurring expensive plate and set-up costs. This makes it ideal for the shorter run requirements that are becoming more typical of the market, with many customers seeking to reduce their inventory.

‘With no minimum order quantity, and free 100 percent accurate press proofs, digitally printed labels from our Xeikon 3030 digital press offer the ultimate in production speed and flexibility at an affordable price. Digital color labels are ideal for customers who require high quality labels over multiple designs, or even where the label requires variable data such as serial numbers or barcodes.’

The food safe properties of Xeikon’s QA-I toner were a further attraction. ‘This aspect alone opens up the door of a number of food manufacturing companies here in Corby,’ added Waine.

Established in 1985 by Peter Lindsay – James’s father – the company manufactures custom roll labels, plain paper labels, laser labels, tickets and tags. It provides a range of products for specific applications, including synthetic label materials, creating quality label, ticket and tag products. Unique products available include write and seal labels, mobile printer labels, high temperature, cryogenic, asset and racking label products.

The team at PeterLynn is to hold an open day for their trade customers, which will take place on November 28, 2012, in order to show off the capabilities of the new product line to both customers and prospects.
