Eurostampa installs two HP Indigo WS6800 digital presses in the USA

The new presses, a WS6800 at its Cincinnati, Ohio location and another in Napa, California, plus the WS6600 at its Touvérac facility in France, will be used to produce wine, champagne, spirits, chocolates and food labels. Eurostampa Group’s client roster includes Bacardi, Brown Forman (Jack Daniel’s), Antinori (Santa Cristina), Gaja, Lindt, Ferrero (Nutella) and Barilla, among others.

Eurostampa Group entered the high-end digital label production environment in 2013 with investment in an HP Indigo WS6600. The company added an HP Indigo WS6600 digital press to its Cincinnati, Ohio facility less than six months later.

The latest HP Indigo WS6800 and WS6600 digital press installations build on the company’s existing capabilities, enabling a wider range of innovative label applications and enhanced productivity, to address increased demand for digitally produced labels. 

The Italy-based company, which has expanded to four new locations in less than nine years, has grown its business with HP Indigo digital presses, securing several new customers worldwide because of its digital capabilities. Digital work accounted for eight percent of the company’s North America revenue in the second half of 2015.

‘Our high-end food and beverage customers are more frequently seeking shorter run lengths of seasonal labels, and we require flawless color matching to meet strict brand standards,’ said Garry Lanham, Eurostampa North America chief financial officer. ‘With our HP Indigo digital presses, we profitably address our customers’ needs, providing faster turnarounds and impeccable quality, and we’re seeing more customers switch from traditional printing to digital.’

Through its fleet of HP Indigo digital presses, Eurostampa is also benefiting from the their offset-matching print quality for pressure-sensitive labels, shrink sleeves and wrap-around labels, enabling the company to use its digital and traditional printing presses interchangeably and most economically per job.
