UAE-based Stars Printing & Labels LLC has boosted its output through installing a Mark Andy 2200 press.
The label specialist, based in the New Industrial Area of Umm Al Quwain, has invested in the flexo press to meet rising customer demand, said managing director Bino Thomas.
“The addition of the Mark Andy 2200 has resulted in drastic reduction in make-ready, both in time and material,” he said.
“Our capabilities have significantly increased and with increased production speed, we can now take on more projects with shorter lead times.”
He added that Star picked the press – bought through Flexo Image Graphics (FIG) – during Labelexpo India in New Delhi in November after evaluating “a variety of press manufacturers”.
“After comparing the features of Mark Andy 2200 press with other flexo presses, we are convinced that Mark Andy and FIG will continue to serve our needs for many years as we grow,” said Thomas.
Gourav Roy, FIG’s managing director, said his company brings “global innovative technology in the field of labels” and offers “one of the best service engineers team in the region”.
“They have a very strong platform and the Mark Andy 2200 is the perfect press for the smaller runs in the face of changing market dynamics,” said Roy.
Stars Printing & Labels LLC has added its flexo Mark Andy 220 to an established setup in offset and digital to offer most comprehensive label printing solutions.
“And when we look to add another press, it will be a Mark Andy,” said Thomas.
