Yerecic Label installs Mark Andy Performance Series press

Yerecic Label, a US-based label and coupon manufacturer, has installed a Mark Andy Performance Series P7 at its New Kensington, Pennsylvania, facility. 

The P7 is a 12-color, 17 inch (430 mm) press built specifically to meet Yerecic's multi-web application and lamination demands. The press features the Performance Series designed rail system for web turn bar and laminator, a custom delamination and relamination kit, high-efficiency hot air drying system and moveable UV curing. 

Primarily purchased to add capacity and improve efficiencies over existing equipment, the P7 was selected because of its open architecture, quick changeovers and print capabilities, according to the converter. The P7 is also equipped to allow Yerecic to expand its product lines into thin unsupported films and is fully upgradeable to accommodate future requirements. 

’We are pleased with the P7's ability to handle multi-layer constructions. The print stations and webs are very accessible. Mark Andy has successfully met the challenge to deliver a press with lean attributes. We expect to significantly lower waste and increase throughput. Our press teams have found the Performance Series design to be easy to learn and operator-friendly,’ said Art Yerecic, president of Yerecic Label.  

More than 12 P7s have been built since its launch at Labelexpo Europe in late September 2009.
