West Midlands-based label converter Customark, which has been providing labels and print solutions to a wide range of industries for the last 50 years, has continued to expand its infrastructure. Following significant upgrades in 2017, the firm looked to build its digital print capabilities due to the increased demand for short run volume. Customark opted for the Dantex PicoColour digital label press, which offered excellent printed results at a competitive price.
Customark’s PicoColour, which was installed in early October, boasts a small footprint, and is suitable for short and long run jobs. Providing all the benefits of digital printing for today’s demanding production environment, including no minimum quantities, inline finishing, no waste and a fast turnaround, the press is built to last and simple to operate and maintain. There are a number of additional options available, with Customark opting for the corona unit, variable data package and white.
“Having done the math, it was clear to us that by investing in a PicoColour we could make huge time savings, significantly improve our quality and radically alter the type of work we could print and tender for, while improving our margins in the process," says Neil Turner, Customark’s managing director. “We began to evaluate our options 12 months ago. We wanted to find a digital press that fully met our requirements, however, some of the other options we considered did not fit that solution nearly as well as the PicoColour. The addition of the corona unit meant that we can use a wide variety of standard laminate constructions, which helped us enormously. Added to that the white print option and variable data, we felt that the PicoColour was definitely the best fit for us. The icing on the cake was the support installation and training, which has been outstanding.”
Andy Abbott, Dantex’s director of operations, adds, “We are delighted that Customark has invested in a PicoColour press and are confident it will develop business opportunities with new customers where origination costs can often be a barrier. Given the success of the press so far, we look forward to discussing further investment opportunities in the future.”
