Producing high-quality label printing depends on several factors; one of them is the operator of the press.

As a press machine builder since 1996, MPS Systems B.V. knows how important training and education on subjects like pre-press, label printing and finishing is. For label printers, it is critical that their operators keep up with pre-press and press developments in addition to label trends.

Therefore, MPS sponsors the Label Academy, to advance operator’s passion for printing, share expertise and help multiply benefits. The MPS slogan ‘Operator Focused, Results Driven' underlines the core philosophy of MPS from press design to operator satisfaction. We design our presses to enhance the talents of your operators. Regardless of their skill level, our user-friendly press technology enables them to maximize their efficiencies and print jobs that not only meet, but surpass, the performance expected in today’s label and flexible packaging market. MPS. Operator Focused, Results Driven.
