Crown Labels has installed a Domino N610i inkjet label press, significantly expanding the printer’s production capacity.

With printing speeds of up to 70m/min, the Domino N610i press is a highly flexible option suited to short and medium print runs. The use of UV curable inks results in a bright and durable print, well suited to a wide range of industries from personal care to chemical and even high-end consumer products.

The press was installed in late 2019 after three years of considerable growth in demand for digitally printed labels as reported by the company, which operates an Epson inkjet digital press alongside flexo and hot foil printing capabilities.

‘We’re incredibly excited by this new addition to our label printing capabilities,’ said Tom Hardy, managing director at Crown Labels. ‘The impressive speed and quality of the Domino press ensures that we can offer the benefits of digital print to a larger portion of our customer base. Plus, our increased capacity ensures that we’re able to sustain our excellent level of service for all customers even as order volumes increase. Lead times across all our print processes have reduced and the feedback we’ve had from customers has been superb.’

Founded in 1989, this is described as ‘one of the most significant investments’ made by the Rotherham-based label printer in its 30-year history. Crown Labels has built a diverse customer base ranging from local industrial customers to national brands and established trade businesses, while still maintaining the personalised service of a family-run business.

The Domino inkjet digital press is set to make Crown Labels more competitive than ever.

Mike Hardy, sales director at Crown Labels, said, ‘Trade customers in particular will love the lead times and quality of labels printed on this press, and we look forward to expanding our service to them, plus a wide variety of customers from other industries.’
