Tags & Labels Printing, a family-owned company in Hallandale, FFL, is now offering short-run packaging work to customers due to its recent installation of the Heidelberg Versafire EP.
Focusing primarily on packaging, Tags & Labels Printing was eager to move into the digital world to offer short-run work to customers. With the limitation of printing heavy stocks on digital equipment, the company stayed with offset. According to Lisa Appelbaum, marketing and sales director at Tags & Labels Printing, “We could only find digital equipment that was allowing us to print up to 16-point board. Once we heard about the Versafire EP having the capability to support 24-point stock, we knew it would be right up our alley.”
Only a month after installation, Tags & Labels Printing is already showing off the capabilities of the press by doing prototyping and sampling work for customers, which includes printing on a variety of synthetics and also printing up to 13” x 27.5” sheets. Printing at 4,800 x 2,400 dpi and with a new toner formula, the Versafire EP exceeds the challenging expectations of Tags & Labels Printing’s customers while running at speeds of up to 135 letter pages per minute.
“The Versafire EP is opening the doors for us to be competitive in the market with our price and turnaround times,” said Appelbaum. “The quality from the Versafire EP gives us another advantage – it’s almost identical to offset. It also prints consistently from sheet to sheet while also allowing us to match colors, so that we can quickly print repetitive work for our customers.”
