UK Label Printer, ‘The Label Centre’, based in Dudley, West Midlands, has become the latest company to install the Dflex digital hybrid press from Focus Label Machinery Ltd. Established in 1999, the family owned business has continually invested, to grow the business, but this - their biggest investment to date - coincides with their 20th year in the industry.

The Focus d-Flex Machine is a high-speed digital Inkjet printing press, which is suitable for a number of low-volume printing applications. It can be used to print both images and variable data onto either un-printed or pre-printed materials, making it ideal for labels, packaging, paper, film, foil, small cartons and other substrates. Benefiting from the latest Inkjet Single Pass Print technology, the Focus d-Flex Machine can deliver professional label printing results, with low operating and maintenance costs, all via a user-friendly interface.

Packaging presents unique quirks to the world of graphic design. The constant need to innovate – whilst also avoiding major fails – is part and parcel of the quicksand of both pre-press and retro-graphics. Today’s software can offer a range of benefits that can ensure quality whilst guarding against problems. Here are some of the benefits that our partner Packz is able to add to your Focus press.

With so many leaps forward in the past twelve months, 2019 looks set to be an event to remember.
