The company has relied on the print quality of HP Indigo for more than 11 years. It earlier had an HP Indigo 4500 digital label printing press that was returned to HP and a new press was installed in the end of January. 

The new press enables the printer to produce a variety of packaging options at any run-length and variable data printing helps the company personalize packaging as well as incorporate security features.

Janus International caters to a range of industries, including the alcohol beverages, cosmetics and pharmaceutical sectors. It offers customers options such as shrink sleeves, cartons, pouches and in-mold labels. The new press has also enhanced Janus’ capabilities to address the requirements of a wider variety of brands, including small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) clients, for fast short-run production and packaging. 

‘Conventional printing processes can be prohibitively expensive for brands with low-volume orders – a real issue if you’re a small business or cash-strapped start-up,’ said Denver Annunciation, co-director, Janus International.

‘The HP Indigo 6900 digital press allows us to meet our SME clients’ needs without the constraints of minimum-order quantities.’ This approach also means Janus’ customers benefit from a quicker turnaround. ‘Digital printing is the future and HP Indigo sure is playing its part in making it a great one!’ Janus Annunciation, company's co-director added.

In business for over 25 years, Janus International is a family-owned and operated company founded by Joe Annunciation in India. Second-generation leaders Denver and Janus Annunciation took the decision to move into digital printing in 2009.
