Label Technology installs PCMC Fusion C

Label Technology, a California-based developer and manufacturer of flexible packaging, finished pouches and labels, has installed a Fusion C flexo press from Paper Converting Machine Company (PCMC), part of Barry-Wehmiller.

The Fusion C is Label Technology’s first central impression press

The Fusion C is Label Technology’s first central impression press and joins other flexible packaging flexographic presses in its manufacturing location in Merced, which is specifically engineered for food-safe operations and is annually audited by third parties for food safety production. The location also houses lamination, slitting and pouch making operations.

‘The addition of the PCMC Fusion C will extend our ability to meet the continued growth in both flexible packaging and finished pouch markets, while maintaining the high-quality products for which Label Technology is known,’ commented David Bankson, president and CEO of Label Technology. ‘The Fusion C’s sustainability features also figured heavily in our decision to choose this press.’

Rich Stratz, strategic accounts sales manager, printing, at PCMC, said: ‘What a privilege for PCMC to continue to be able to grow with Label Technology. Our relationship started 12 years ago when this customer purchased our Evolution in-line press. We’re excited Label Technology has chosen PCMC and the Fusion C for the company’s first central impression flexographic press.

‘When coming to us looking for a solution for the flexible packaging and finished pouch markets, we knew the Fusion C was the right choice.’
