Labo Print, a European brand and label printer in Poland has set up a new department for the manufacture of paper cups adding to its printing portfolio.
Utilizing the operational performance of a Xeikon 3500 digital press with dry toner technology accredited for guaranteed food safety, the company can produce sustainable, personalized digitally printed paper cups that appeal to consumer preferences.
The 3500, Xeikon’s high digital press for labels and folding cartons, offers versatility, speed and the opportunity to print on a wide range of board types.
“We know that comprehensiveness and focus on quality are the two characteristics that Labo Print’s clients value most. These characteristics, combined with our team of experts, full transparency and professional resources, make even our most demanding clients see us as a trustworthy partner," said Krzysztof Fryc, CEO & co-founder of Labo Print. "Each manufactured product must have packaging and the right markings, regardless of whether it is a cosmetic, a beverage or a family-produced pot of honey. We are always prepared - for example, when manufacturers of large, commercial quantities require labels for a few hundred craft beer bottles? Thanks to our carefully selected technology platform, we are able to meet the needs of both small entrepreneurs and large manufacturers. We supply a whole range of product options and pay particular attention to the comprehensiveness of the solutions we offer."
Labo Print has, over time, invested PLN 10 million in the manufacture of digital labels.
Today, the equipment in the company’s Label Section includes a variety of equipment for the printing, die-cutting and finishing of labels.
The compliance of Xeikon dry toners with their accreditation and regulatory standards related to food contact was utilized by Labo Print in 2020 to start a production line of short-run paper cups.
The overprinting of the substrate for the manufacture of cups is the first stage of the production process; therefore, speed and reliability are incredibly important.
Furthermore, the substrates used for the cups are quite demanding due to the formation of one or two coats with a moisture impermeable layer which also functions as a binder when forming the cups under high temperatures.
Labo Print offers solutions, starting from the basic marking of a product with a personalized label to a full range of offerings - tailored packaging, secondary packaging, cartons, illuminated 3D lettering on commercial outlets, printed foils on shop fronts, advertising flags, printed PVC or Plexi sheets which constitute decorative elements, and finally stands, such as cardboard displays and large-format advertising.
