Western Shield Label Adds a Mark Andy LP3000 Press
Western Shield Label Company, a Southern California area label converter, recently acquired a 13 in. Mark Andy LP3000 10-color UV flexo press.
With its quick-change architecture, short web path and tooling compatibility with the current presses in Western Shield's stable, this investment will help Western Shield maintain short lead times and a competitive cost structure.
"I am really excited about this investment'", said Frank Connelly, CEO of Western Shield. "The LP3000 provides us with some additional high quality capacity which will enable us to continue growing our business in a measured way while, at the same time, maintaining the quality and service that our customers have come to expect. We remain committed to continuously investing in superior equipment, employees, and materials."
"In light of our growth and increased demands on production, this is a very critical investment for the company," said Tamar Santana, Production Manager at Western Shield. "It is very important that our customers continue to get their labels on time or early. This press will allow us to do just that, while maintaining our stringent quality standards. In addition, the 13 in. width allows us to run multiple labels across the web, increasing efficiency and lowering costs to our customers."
