SA Labels takes delivery of two Surfscan Checkpress systems

SA Labels, one of the UK’s largest independent manufacturers of bespoke on roll self adhesive labels, has taken delivery of two Surfscan Checkpress systems to provide 100% web inspection on the world’s first printing solution of its type that the company has developed.

The Surfscan Checkpress web inspection systems are customized to meet SA Label’s exact requirements - providing ‘accurate and repeatable defect detection, operating at high speeds and detecting the tiniest of specks in a very busy area’, according to a statement. With a print solution aimed at the decorative end of the market, for SA Labels this system was ‘ideal’.

Tony Coulthard, production manager at SA Labels, commented, ‘We were looking for a piece of equipment that was befitting of a world class print solution, that would facilitate our continuous drive to reducing wastage and provide us with 100% web inspection. We have been impressed with the Surfscan system from the demo’s we have seen and are very much looking forward to the new system coming on-line.’

Damian Harvey, general manager for Surfscan, added: ‘We are delighted that SA Labels chose to order two of our systems, and are completely convinced that by using the Checkpress on their new print solution the company will enjoy huge benefits. We are looking forward to working together over the coming months.’
