Labelprint24 commissions Germany's first Screen Truepress Jet L350UV

Labelprint24 produces a wide range of sheet- and roll-fed labels for companies across multiple industries, including cosmetics, healthcare, food and manufacturing. Labels range from simple to highly complex products incorporating multi-layer informational booklets, all of which can be ordered online.

Labelprint24 is part of the Harder group of companies. In 2009, Harder adopted an all-digital strategy focused on the labeling and packaging sectors, launching Labelprint24 a year later as the 24-hour web-to-print B2B portal customers use to order labels. 

Today Labelprint24 sells its products to Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Poland and Czech Republic.

Labelprint24 managing director Stefan Harder added: ‘Several key trends persuaded us this was the right path to follow. One was the steady move from offset to digital printing. The other was the growing demand for labels to perform more sophisticated functions in industries such as food and pharmaceuticals. 

‘Today labels do much more than just identify products — they are vehicles for marketing promotions, for regulatory information, and so on. Add in factors such as greater product diversification and shorter lifecycles, and our customers want us to print shorter runs, faster and to the highest quality.’

Labels represent a significant part of the group's turnover and this will grow when Labelprint24 expands into France, Italy, the Netherland and Belgium later this year.

The 4-color + white inkjet web Truepress Jet L350UV has been supplied and installed by Dantex, and has doubled the production capacity at Labelprint24's 100 percent digital printing facility in Großenhain, Saxony. 

Harder said: ‘In addition, the Truepress Jet L350UV delivers everything today's label buyers expect from a leading manufacturer — personalization, fast turnaround, first-class quality and, combined with our intelligent systems, affordability.’

He added: ‘Because the press is incredibly flexible, it can handle short, medium and long runs and can print on a range of substrates including transparent film and metallic foil. Its print speed makes it one of the fastest label printing machines in the sector, without any compromise on quality — text is pin-sharp, and images totally photorealistic. It's easy to look after too — the automatic printhead cleaning function cuts maintenance to no more than 15 minutes a day.’
