A year on from installing a MPS EC UV flexo multi-substrate press South African JMB Labels has achieved a 30% increase in sales.
The increase in sales has been achieved due to the company’s ability to enter new markets and attract new customers since the machine was installed.
Features of the EF press include eight UV ink stations and two hot air driers for water-based ink, double die station, delam-relam and web turner bar, laminating and cold foil station and a film package for unsupported films. JMB Labels is currently printing self-adhesive labels and unsupported BOPP film, and is in the process of printing on PVC and PET film for the shrink label market.
‘The MPS press has improved our production process at all levels,’ commented Aslam Monia, co-owner of JMB Labels. ‘Make-ready times are shorter with the use of printing sleeves as compared to conventional printing cylinders. The short web path facilitates cost saving on material and reduces wastage. Most importantly, print quality is constant throughout the run and it has given us the confidence to target more companies seeking high-end, quality labels and packaging for their products. As a result, we have experienced a 30% increase in sales.’
