Since 1993, Access Labels has serviced customers from its facility in Nova Scotia.

Robert Sams, who leads business development for Access Labels said: ‘From our location in Atlantic Canada, we provide a robust product line and the high level of our service customers have come to expect. To keep pace with the needs of this loyal customer base – and to help us grow into new markets – we needed to move into digital.’

The Xeikon 3030 is the narrow web entry-level press that is part of the Xeikon 3000 series. It was developed for label converters like Access Labels who want to expand their business into the digital production of labels. In addition to prime label applications, the press is also suitable for producing promotional and transfer applications.

Adopting the Xeikon 3030 has enabled Access Labels to expand its business to include the high quality, short run, prime label production jobs.

‘Our customer base includes many specialty food providers who demand high quality labels, including vineyards, seafood providers and dairies,' continued Sams. 'Previously, we were unable to be competitive with prime labels, but since adopting the Xeikon 3030, our customers now have access to all our expanding product offerings under one roof. This growth would not be possible without the Xeikon 3030.’
