Amherst Label, an Inovar company, located in Milford, NH, USA, has added its third Domino N610i digital UV inkjet press, with the installation of its second MPS EF SYMJET ‘powered by Domino’ hybrid press in February 2024.
“We have 55 full-time employees and we’ve added 250 new customers in the last two years. Our key objective is to take great care of our customers, provide great opportunities for our employees, and use technology to continue to grow. Today, we have four flexo presses, one Domino N610i digital roll-to-roll, and two MPS-Domino (flexo/digital) hybrids. So, it’s really exciting to see our growth. And last year we merged with Inovar Packaging Group, which is a great fit for us,” says Nye Hornor, president of Amherst Label.
With 11 current locations, Inovar Packaging Group aims to create a world-class commercial enterprise by building a platform to drive scalable and sustainable growth.
Katie Putnam, prepress and digital print supervisor, says, “Several years ago we started to see more versioning, more SKUs, more speciality labels, shorter runs. Customers were looking for higher quality.
Nye adds, “The other big thing was turnaround time. And customers started asking for variable information. So, everything was really pointing us in the direction to add digital.”
A driving factor for adding the MPS-Domino hybrid was not only needing additional capacity, but the desire to print and convert in a single pass, all inline, while being able to add embellishments, varnishes, cold foil, and more. Nye says, “With being able to print and convert inline, we are saving a tremendous amount of time by doing the process in one step versus two steps. So, we have more throughput, more productivity. All these benefits are a Domino effect.”
Meanwhile, Resource Label Group (RLG), a full-service provider of label and packaging solutions, has acquired Beyer Graphics, located in Commack, NY, USA. Beyer Graphics will become part of RLG Healthcare, a specialty pharmaceutical and healthcare packaging business of Resource Label Group.
Beyer Graphics represents the 32nd acquisition for RLG and the third addition to the RLG Healthcare business.
“It is an exciting time for RLG Healthcare as we continue to rapidly grow and expand our commitment to the pharmaceutical and healthcare industries,” states Kevin Grogan, CEO of RLG Healthcare. “The addition of Beyer Graphics will immediately strengthen our service, quality, and product offering to our customers.”
