The Label Makers installs Digicon Series 2 from AB Graphic

AB Graphic International has installed a Digicon Series 2 label converting line for digitally printed webs at The Label Makers, based in Bradford, UK. The order was placed during the recent Labelexpo Americas exhibition and includes flat bed hot foiling, cold foiling, embossing, a screen module and two UV flexo units. 

‘The combination of digital printing and the Digicon finishing line means we can truly satisfy customer requirements for premium quality short-run work at competitive rates,’ commented The Label Makers’ managing director David Webster. ‘The market is requiring greater flexibility from its supply base with shorter and variable print runs and our investment in the Digicon converting system means we have the facility to deliver the expectations of our customers irrespective of run length.’ 

The Digicon 2, combined with the company’s new Xeikon digital press, expands the range of label printing processes offered by The Label Makers, which already include flexography, lithography, letterpress and silk screen production. 

‘We are delighted to have been the supplier of choice for this new venture into digital label printing and concluding the sale during Labelexpo Americas was especially satisfying,’ added Mark Hyde of AB Graphic International.
