Leading Estonian label printer installs fourth Edale

Data Print, based in Tartu and one of Estonia’s most innovative and fast growing label printing companies, has installed its fourth Edale installation in as many years. Less than one year after Labelexpo 2005, when the company purchased the exhibition 5 color fully UV Alpha with cold foiling, it then installed another 5-colour fully UV flexo press.

’We gained a lot of new business due to our outstanding UV flexo print quality, JIT (Just in Time) deliveries and competitive pricing. Quick job changes and set-up, and the advantage of UV inks are all liked by the operators, reducing their downtime and increasing their production by 20 per cent. Over the last three years, our business has grown by 70 per cent and we could achieve this within the same factory space by just re-organizing the work-flow. The Alpha occupies a footprint of 2.5 meters squared versus over six meters squared for a modular press with the additional advantage of greatly reduced operator movements giving more time to prepare the next job and supervision and optimizing of our work-flow,’ explained Priit Utso, MD and co-owner of Data Print, which is a member of FINAT.
