AJS Labels extend their Digital Printing capability

As the marketplace becomes ever more competitive, brand owners have an increasing need for flexibility and agility in the production of self-adhesive labels. The demand for short-to-medium run length jobs is on the increase due to:

• Quick-changing consumer preferences that require newer products and ‘eye-catching’ labels
• Faster time-to-market in this dynamic marketplace
• New product versions introduced more frequently and in smaller quantities

Label printing is changing in order to meet these demands and no more so than at AJS Labels. We have invested in the very latest digital technology, the HP Indigo WS6000 Digital Press, and increased our digital capacity by over 200%!

Advanced

The WS6000 is the most advanced digital labels printing press on the market. The 7 colour press can run at speeds of up to 60 meters per minute across a wide range of substrates from 12 to 450 microns in thickness. The sophisticated computer technology includes on-press and remote diagnostics, live web cam communications with remote support and access to the press, keeping downtime to an absolute minimum.

Agile and Responsive

By eliminating the time-consuming process of make-ready, set-up and platemaking, we can react extremely quickly to digital labels orders and make sure our customers stay ahead of competitors in bringing products to market. What’s more with faster response and job turnaround, we can keep lead times to a minimum.

Brilliant quality

HP Indigo digital presses are renowned as the only digital printing technology that produces a level of quality that exceeds that of conventional printing. The Esko Artwork software ensures excellent, consistent colour matching for digital proofing and printing meaning we can match the strictest brand and colour requirements for any digital labels.

Versatile

The digital print process is extremely versatile and provides a number of labelling solutions.  It is the perfect answer for product ranges where multiple sorts are required and the only answer for variable data and sequentially printed labels.

Environmentally responsible

The WS6000 Digital press is designed to have a minimum impact on the environment with reduced power consumption, an imaging oil recycling system and virtually no waste material from set ups.

AJS Labels are delighted with this new investment. We can now offer our customers an even wider range of high quality labels in a faster time. Can’t be bad!
