The facility, which opened at the recent Open House, features three flexo lines and the latest Mark Andy Digital Pro 3, installed in March this year.
The Mark Andy Digital Pro 3 press will help Kingfisher Labels address the growing demand for digital printing, work which previously has been outsourced.
The digital press toner-based engine is equipped with inline finishing capable of 23m per minute CMYK plus white at 1,200dpi.
Kingfisher Labels director Karl Jackson said: “We have invested heavily in the new premises and latest flexo and digital technology and it’s really paying dividends.
