Xeikon opens up new business opportunities for Berco Labels

Berco Labels, a Quebec-based printer of pressure-sensitive labels, has expanded its business and production capabilities after purchasing a Xeikon 3030 digital color press, which was installed in 2012.

Founded more than 40 years ago, and part of the Group Magnitude family of companies, Berco Labels offers digital, offset and flexo print processes. The bulk of its digital label production is for the food and beverage industries.

Manon Leclerc (pictured, left), president of Berco Labels, said that the addition of the Xeikon 3030 press has opened up new applications that the company could not have handled cost-effectively using flexo.

‘Xeikon digital technology allows us to produce short and medium runs profitably,’ he said. ‘We were not able to do so with flexo technology. The Xeikon 3030 has enabled us to be a much more complete and diverse supplier to the market.’

Todd Blumsack, vice president of sales and marketing at Xeikon America, said: ‘It's been impressive to watch Berco Labels take advantage of our digital printing capabilities and further strengthen its business. Xeikon label solutions offer an unbeatable combination of print quality, flexibility, versatility and productivity, and are helping Berco Labels meet the growing demands of its customers.’
