Ikonprint was founded in 2006 and mainly produces safety labels, logistics labels, thermal labels, and RFID labels. It delivers products for libraries and logistics companies globally and exports roughly 70 percent of its production worldwide.

The company’s investment decision directly results from the latest trends for in-line finishing, as digital press speeds keep increasing. Simultaneously, the company was looking for more flexibility and a future-proof setup of its print production.

‘For us, it has always been important to stay ahead of the market. We needed more speed and faster job rotation. Now we have doubled our speed as the new DC350 runs up to 140 m/min, and it can keep up with flexo printing jobs. And our non-stop turret rewinder is a daily time saver,’ commented Thomas Nielsen, CEO of Ikonprint. ‘With the modularity of our new line, we are well prepared for the future. We can easily change our production setup or add more options to adapt to customer needs.’
