Quality and Commitment
One component in helping The
Label Printers achieve that quality and commitment they provide their customers
has been their partnership with Domino.
Tom Erickson, Vice President of
Manufacturing at The Label Printers has been with the company for over 18
years. Six years ago in an interview and video shot at their facility, Tom said
“We like the Domino K600i because it offers us increased uptime. With the
automated features such as the cleaning and purging system, we are able to we
are able to produce our work more efficiently.”
The Domino K600i is a highly
successful digital UV inkjet printer with proven, reliable technology in over
350 installations worldwide. It has been a tried and true ‘money-making
machine’ for customers for several years. Integrated typically on a flexo label
press or rewinder, the Domino K600i allows label printer converters to print
variable data such as sequential numbering, bar codes, QR codes, and more.
Typical applications of these printed codes are to track product throughout the
logistics supply chain; traceability for food safety, brand protection, or
product authentication; shopper engagement and feedback tools/programs;
loyalty, gaming, and promotional opportunities; or meeting requirements for
state, federal, or global mandates.
Back to the Future
Fast-forward to 2019. Much time
has passed since Tom made that statement in 2013 regarding their first Domino
K600i, so we caught up with him to ask about his level of satisfaction over the
past six years. And what we learned is that when things are going well, they
just keep getting better. We documented our visit at The Label Printers in a
quick one-minute video as Tom provides an update:
“Today we are running three
K600i’s. The Label Printers has been in business for 50 years. We service the
nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, anti-counterfeiting and security industries, and
more. Domino provides us with dependability, their service has been
outstanding, the reliability has been outstanding leading us to a lot of
uptime…enabling us to literally produce tens of billions of labels. And we hope
to continue the partnership with Domino for the foreseeable future.”
In his quite humble and
self-deprecating way, Tom concludes by saying “For those of you who don’t know,
going back in your history, we were the first video Domino ever did. This might
be the last one,” as he smiles and laughs.
Not to worry Tom, there will be
more! Cheers to you and The Label Printers..
