HP Indigo details further adoption of its 20000 digital press platform

Alabama-based ColorMasters, a flexible packaging converter serving the consumer packaged goods market for 30 years, recently installed an HP Indigo 20000 to provide high-quality, high-performance packaging to food and beverage brands, with a focus on meeting the demanding delivery requirements of today’s retail environments.

ColorMasters sales director Mark Pfeiffer commented: ‘ColorMasters’ clients now require customized, smaller-quantity packaging with faster speed-to-market, which is challenging to deliver efficiently and cost-effectively with our legacy equipment. The HP Indigo 20000 digital press offers increased ease of use with “art file-to-print” capabilities and will allow us to improve margins with reduced waste and make-ready, while opening up new high-value application opportunities.’

Other recent HP Indigo 20000 customer installations have included Japan-based Seikou taking its third HP Indigo 20000 to continue addressing demands for high print quality, competitive pricing, short-runs and fast turnarounds, as well as to expand capabilities and capacity to tackle new market opportunities. China-based candy manufacturer Green Love has installed the country’s first HP Indigo 20000, bringing previously outsourced customized candy packaging production in-house. The company is also looking to use the benefits of digital technology to evolve candy packaging into an advertising opportunity, which represents enormous market potential with its customer base. Mexico-based Nanogruppe has acquired an HP Indigo 20000 to address a range of challenges, including the ability to quickly test and launch new products, reduce substrate inventory, as well as enhance versioning capabilities such as localization. The company also has its sights set on business expansion into North and South America.  And South Africa-based Ren-Form, a 25-year-old commercial print house, has acquired the first HP Indigo 20000 in sub-Saharan Africa for its Ren-Flex flexible packaging division to expand its offer for specialized labels including in-mold labels, personalized branding and flexible packaging.

Further, Bemis Company has invested in an HP Indigo 20000, as reported here.
