Located in the heart of Burgundy since 1990, Jacquelin Frères prints adhesive and traditional variations of wine labels to fit a wide range of budgets, scales and needs demanded by its customers.

Having first encountered the HP Indigo 6600 at Labelexpo Europe 2013, Max Jacquelin, general manager of the multi-site company, was intrigued by the potential of the HP Indigo series. Following numerous demonstrations, the brand signed for an HP Indigo 6900 six years later at Labelexpo Europe 2019.

‘For us and our clients, the quality of the finished product is the most important aspect of the service we provide, which had a decisive impact on our choice of press,’ commented Jacquelin. ‘The competition amongst the wineries themselves has forced our clients to be inventive and artistic with their labels, and as a business we had to ensure we could consistently deliver on an enormous variety of finishes including embellishment, gilding, embossing and the like.

‘The choice of tech is really important to our business model and so we are constantly investing in the latest and best equipment. The HP Indigo 6900 press was exactly the right choice in order to ensure we consistently deliver on excellent quality, every step of the way.’
