Print-Leeds has branched into self-adhesive label production after investing just over £1m in a new press, finishing kit and MIS and creating a new specialist division.
Fisher: "The obvious progression for the company"
The business, which already supplies wet glue labels to the beverage and food industries and has operated a digital printing division since 2009, started work on the new business arm around a year ago, with managing director Rod Fisher working on putting together the finance and the right team to take the division to market.
After researching a number of options, including visits to Labelexpo and various manufacturers, the business decided to invest in a Screen LS350 SAI seven-colour press, which Print-Leeds said is the first to be installed in the UK.
