Access Labels, a leading Canadian label producer since 1993 based in Amherst, Nova Scotia, has installed Xeikon 3030 Digital Colour Press. Access is using the new press to supplement its flexo equipment, expand into new markets and better service the demands of its customers.
“The idea was to expand our base of small-run, high-quality products,” said Robert Sams, General Sales Manager at Access Labels. “With the advent of more organic and local foods booming, we wanted to position ourselves to offer this service, as well as offer to our existing flexo clients short-run options without large commitments. Our customer base includes many specialty food providers who demand high-quality labels – including vineyards, seafood providers and dairies. Since installing the Xeikon 3030, our customers now have access to all our expanding product offerings under one roof. This growth would not be possible without the Xeikon 3030. From our location in Atlantic Canada, we provide a robust product line and a high level of service our customers have come to expect. To keep pace with the needs of this loyal customer base – and to help us grow into new markets – we needed to move into digital.”
“Access Labels is an example of what can be accomplished when you combine our digital printing capabilities with a customer’s innovation and commitment,” said David Wilkins, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, U.S. and Canada, at Xeikon, “Xeikon label solutions offer a combination of print quality, flexibility, versatility and productivity. It’s gratifying to see how these features have supported Access Labels and its customers.”
