“The R&D press enhances our agility and effectiveness as a development partner for our customers,” said Katarzyna Wasilewska, R&D manager at Masterpress. “It enables us to swiftly test new inks or materials and translate creative visions into tangible product samples.”

Masterpress’ decade-long focus on R&D

Masterpress has consistently invested in its R&D laboratory in Białystok for more than a decade.

In addition to the new printing press, the facility is equipped with advanced tools for precise testing of substrate strength, slip, and friction.

The laboratory also enables simulation testing of product resistance to various environmental factors such as temperature and light.

“This expansion aligns with Masterpress’ long-term growth strategy, aiming to contribute to sustainable development within the label industry,” noted Jeroen de Haan, general manager of Masterpress.

“The goal is to provide ‘good-for-recycling’ solutions and drive positive change in the market.”
