New UV inkjet investment for Cresta Labels

Cresta Labels has recently installed its second PicoColour to complement their first one installed last year - which seemed a natural follow up investment given the increased demand. 

Sales & Marketing Director, Richard Lloyd said, "We had not expected to be buying a second PicoColour so soon, but we were already struggling to keep up with the higher demand from moving into digital. Dantex are British, which was a key draw, but they also have the experience in front-end, repro and digital that we needed. They are very proactive and organised when we need help - and we have a good relationship where our feedback helps develop their machinery. With digital, you need to be working on five-day turnarounds and we were struggling with one machine. The pair of them obviously benefit our clients as they are not paying for origination and our delivery lead time has vastly improved."

Dawn Reid, Regional Director for the BPIF added, "Cresta is an established family managed business and has been creating labelling solutions for their customers for over 40 years. They now run a range of digital and flexo machines alongside hot foil blocking and variable data and thermal transfer. It collectively allows the company to print sticky labels by all four means and this will be a great asset to them."
