The company said that its first Xeikon CX3 digital press can print 98ft of label in a minute.

Rice added: “The combination of reliability, print quality and productivity that we experienced with our first Xeikon CX3 made the decision to invest in a second press very easy.

“It is a robust, full rotary press that does make a difference as compared to other digital label press options.

“The full rotary helps us in many ways – better registration in printing, and better registration into finishing.”
