Labelmakers adds HP Indigo 200K press to expand Sydney digital label capacity
Australasian label and packaging converter Labelmakers has bought an HP Indigo 200K Digital Press and an ABG Digicon Series 3 finishing machine through distributor Currie Group at the LOUPE Americas trade show. The press is Labelmakers' third HP wide-web digital purchase via Currie Group and its 15th digital machine, to be installed at its newly built Arndell Park facility in Sydney. An existing HP Indigo 6800 press will be redeployed to another Australian site so digital capability is available at every plant.
Why this mattersThe purchase shows converters shifting label work from flexo toward wide-web digital to serve shorter runs and personalised FMCG campaigns.
