JPatton installs HP Indigo 6K for high-security applications

JPatton has installed the HP Indigo 6K Secure Press at its Duluth production facility, with the Georgia-based brand authentication and secure printing company expanding its capabilities to deliver advanced security applications for global brands.

The HP Indigo 6K Secure Press allows JPatton to integrate multi-layered security features such as microtext and additional security layers within a single-pass workflow, improving production speed, accuracy and cost-efficiency. The press creates a streamlined, end-to-end process that reduces operational complexity, accelerates time to market and lowers total cost of ownership.

'Having spent years developing security tools for trading cards and global brands like Colgate, Keebler, Coors Brewing and Microsoft, I understand how critical it is to offer flexible, high-performance applications that protect both reputations and consumers,' said Pete Reyes, vice president and managing director at JPatton. 'The HP Indigo 6K Secure Press is years ahead of the competition and is the perfect addition to our robust manufacturing facility.'

The technology enables JPatton to meet growing demand for authentication tools across regulated markets such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, alcohol and tobacco. With the versatility of HP's Indigo 6K Secure Press, JPatton can serve partners requiring high-assurance applications like tax stamps and serialized product tracking.

The installation aligns with JPatton's sustainability objectives as part of its ambition to achieve net-zero waste across its operations by 2030. The HP Indigo 6K Secure Press is designed to have a zero-carbon footprint, supporting the company's commitment to sustainable manufacturing.

'We are proud to partner with JPatton as they scale its secure print capabilities,' said Raffael Kraus, HP Indigo labels sales director. 'With the HP Indigo 6K Secure Press, it is delivering cutting-edge applications to combat counterfeiting and protect brand value, while advancing the industry toward a more secure and sustainable future.'
