Comex, a label printer based in Poland, has invested in a Xeikon 3030 digital label press designed with variable web widths and dry toner technology. The press will help to produce highly processed, technologically advanced self-adhesive labels.
The company states the investment strategy is to expand its business through increased production capabilities and continue to provide excellent customer service in the region and beyond. Founded over 30 years ago as a commercial printer, Comex can now combine its RFID technologies with Xeikon’s latest dry toner technology to produce a broad range of complex multi-layer, peel-off labels and personalized designs for the pharmaceutical, flexible packaging, food, beverage and cosmetics industries, as well as mass event tickets with varying levels of security for sporting and cultural events.
Marzena Kostrzewa, Comex vice president, says, “This is our second investment in Xeikon technology. We have had many benefits from our existing Xeikon 330 bought a few years ago. In the last year, we have seen a constant rise in the number and variety of orders for jobs. This has led to a requirement to broaden our production portfolio. That is why Comex decided to invest in the proven dry toner technology from Xeikon. We are known throughout Poland as specialists using our advanced and innovative solutions to combine printing with the latest RFID technologies. We had to find the right press to meet our needs and the demand.”
Comex has a variety of customers with different requirements. For example, for the wine industry the company needed to take into consideration the raw materials they use to make their products stand out. Kostrzewa continues, “We found Xeikon’s dry toner technology irreplaceable when overprinting on highly absorbent materials. When we recognized the stability, the intensity of color and the smoothness of overprint achieved we knew we had to have this technology in our portfolio to be able to serve the needs of all of our customers.”
Comex has an advanced factory floor with a diversity of equipment where they design and produce RFID tags and labels, meeting multiple industry standards. These are necessary for the logistic and inventory labels, libraries and special labels, vignettes and electronic seals. Each design is adapted according to the printing technology in order to obtain the best effect.
The installation of the new Xeikon equipment has already been well received by customers, bringing many tangible benefits. The solutions offered by the Xeikon 3030, including the software, allow not only the printing of highly absorbent structural substrates for customers from the wine industry, but also the efficient production of labels using variable databases.
Kostrzewa concludes, “Thanks to the Xeikon 3030 digital label press, we have achieved a higher level of label production in terms of quality, repeatability and conformance with the ISO Coated profiles. This is very important to us. What is also important is the new Xeikon software has significantly streamlined the preparation and production of complex and personalised jobs and made key time-savings especially when changing the raw materials on the machine. We would also like to highlight the excellent technical preparation and the extremely reliable and fast response from Xeikon’s Polish service team. The professionalism displayed by their staff was a significant factor in our decision to purchase from Xeikon again.”
