Ireland-based label provider Impact Labelling has expanded its production capacity with the installation of a Truepress Label SAI S inkjet digital label press from Screen.

The new press marks the company’s second investment in Screen technology and is intended to support continued growth and faster turnaround times.

The company said the investment aligns with its focus on maintaining quality standards while increasing flexibility in digital label production. Evan Fox, managing director at Impact Labelling, said: “As a company dedicated to exceeding customer expectations, we needed a press that would deliver reliable performance at scale. The Screen Truepress Label SAI S checked every box, providing exceptional quality, efficiency, and the ability to expand our embellishment options to offer even more value to our customers.”

Impact Labelling currently supplies labels to sectors including food and drink, nutrition, electronics, beauty, bio, agri-chemical, and medical and pharmaceutical markets. Its existing Screen Truepress Label 350UV SAI LM press uses low-migration inks designed to meet regulatory requirements such as EuPIA, Swiss Ordinance and Nestlé standards.

The addition of the six-colour Truepress Label SAI S configuration (CMYKWO) is expected to enable the company to work with a broader range of substrates and embellishment options. The press operates at speeds of up to 60m/min, supporting increased throughput while maintaining print quality and consistency.

Mr Fox added: “Our customers expect both speed and precision. With Screen technology, we can guarantee colour consistency – whether a label is printed today, next week, or next month – ensuring a seamless and reliable experience for our clients. Our average lead time is under four days, and with the new press, we expect to reduce that even further.”

The company also highlighted the role of equipment reliability and service support in maintaining production uptime. Litho Supplies, Screen Europe’s distribution partner in Ireland, provides technical support, with remote assistance available within minutes and on-site service typically within two hours.

According to Impact Labelling, its production uptime has exceeded 90%, with minimal downtime recorded over the past four and a half years.

Richard Styles, managing director at Litho Supplies, said: “It’s important to find the right machinery for success in the label printing sector, but also the right partners. As Impact Labelling continues to grow – they need mutual trust with clients and a reputation for reliability, two things they’ve already come to expect from Screen.”

Fox said the company views its relationship with Screen as a long-term partnership supporting future growth. “We’ve always found Screen to be an exceptional partner. With the new Screen press now part of our operations, we are confident in our ability to grow our market share and set new benchmarks for the local labelling industry and further reduce our average lead times – already the fastest in Ireland.

“Screen has proven to be more than just a technology provider; they are a trusted partner in our success.”
