Superior test results and the ability to print high opacity white in a single pass <\/strong><\/em>were among the key reasons the PX3000 was chosen<\/i><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lier, Belgium, 29 June 2023 <\/strong>\u2013 Responding to strong growth in demand for high-quality digital labels, Etiflex S.C. in Poland has invested in a Xeikon PX3000<\/a> UV inkjet press to further increase productivity and expand into new markets. The printing company, which is based in Pozna\u0144, made the investment after working closely with Xeikon to find the right solution. Co-owner Przemys\u0142aw Wagner, who runs the company together with Karol Kuligowski and Piotr Smoli\u0144ski, explains, \u201cWe chose Xeikon PX3000 UV inkjet label printing press because it allows us not only to increase productivity, but also to expand into new market segments due to its ability to print white with high opacity in a single pass.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the decision-making period, the Etiflex team visited Xeikon\u2019s headquarters in Lier, in Belgium, where they were pleased to witness superior print results achieved during very detailed tests on the PX3000. They were also impresses with the flexible approach in constructing the offer which convinced them that the purchase of this particular machine would be the most effective for the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Wagner continues, \u201cWhile looking for a UV inkjet machine, we talked to several companies who offer this type of device, but it was only during our meetings with Xeikon that we felt our needs and requirements were made a real priority. The approach taken by Xeikon at every stage of the talks, from the initial presentation of the machine to final contract negotiations, convinced us that their offer was exactly what we were looking for.\u201d
With the new Xeikon PX3000, Etiflex has significantly extended the scope of its collaboration with companies to include craft breweries, juice, and other beverage producers. It has also acquired more customers from the automotive industry as well as offered its services to new markets, such as cosmetics. Among the other factors that persuaded the co-owners to make the investment, the excellent printing speed of 50 m\/min and high cost-efficiency of Xeikon PX3000 were also noted.
\u201cWe chose the 330mm print width machine because it helps us to optimize the use of raw materials which fits the needs of our orders,\u201d adds Piotr Smoli\u0144ski, director for flexo at Etiflex. \u201cOur PX3000 prints in 5 colors \u2013
CMYK and white \u2013 and it has greatly extended the range of substrates that we can offer, allowing us to produce digital labels for segments that were not available to us before. In addition, the machine has been configured so we can offer hybrid printing or add personalization and variable elements to pre-printed images and text.\u201d
\u201cAdding digital technology has changed our company by optimizing our production costs and being able to offer our customers more attractive terms, while maintaining high quality. Thanks to the better performance
of Xeikon PX3000 compared to our previous digital machine, and the good printing quality and lower production costs provided by UV inkjet technology, we have managed to achieve this goal,\u201d agrees the three
co-owners. \u201cAt the same time, we have significantly increased our production capacity which translates into shorter delivery times. Even better, with new press, we have successfully acquired a significant number of new customers who require labels printed on clear-on-clear substrates and other transparent films. They particularly appreciate the high-coverage white ink, which ensures optimal printing results.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Micha\u0142 Kuczkowski, sales manager at Xeikon, concludes, \u201cThe results achieved by Etiflex, including the print quantities they have produced, exactly match the plan they developed during the pre-sale period. Xeikon
PX3000 is a very cost-efficient solution which means that the company can now take on orders that, until recently, would have been processed using a conventional machine. And using the inline embellishments capabilities of the new press, the company is also adding more value, such as attractive haptic effects, to the labels produced. I look forward to observing future projects and plans which will further highlight the passion, collaboration, and personal commitment of Etiflex.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
