MPS announced the successful sale and
installation of a new eight colour EF flexo press at Stampiton Labels, a new
MPS customer based in the UK. The press has been installed very recently.
Stampiton Labels, located in the heart of
the Peak District, purchased an 8 colour full flexo press with a web width of
520mm to increase production capacity in their core business area, milk labels.
The press is equipped with the MPS “APC Advanced” automation extension package,
which includes double servo positioning motors for print sleeves and material
thickness settings. Perfect register and waste-reduction performance were key
elements for Stampiton Labels in selecting their first MPS press. All of their
labels are printed on a wide range of materials, and the press must be able to
hold register and die-cut at very high print speeds on these wide ranging
substrates.
Nick Tyrer, sales director of MPS Systems UK
commented: “We are pleased to receive this new order from a reputable label
printer in the UK. Coupled with Stampiton’s in-house coating expertise, their
new MPS EF flexo press will further extend their capacity of label production
in environments of high-speed dairy bottling lines”.
Established in 1976, Stampiton is the
largest dairy label producer in the UK, services the trade markets with stock
A4 and fan-folded labels, and provides bespoke labels to the office products,
computer, multimedia and dairy/food markets. With 16 presses available in
flexo, UV letterpress and offset litho, Stampiton carries out over 1,300 lines
for next day delivery, thanks to their sophisticated warehousing and

Stampiton is part of the Klimax Group, a
group founded by Klimax to join forces with a number of other labeling and
packaging companies to initiate a larger European presence. The Klimax group
