RANCHO DOMINGUEZ, CA | Western Shield Label Co. says a recently acquired 13-in. Mark Andy LP3000 ten-color UV flexo press is helping maintain short lead times and a competitive cost structure with quick-change architecture, a short web path, and tooling compatibility with the converter's other presses.

Western Shield CEO Frank Connelly says, “The LP3000 provides us with some additional high quality capacity, which will enable us to continue growing our business in a measured way while, at the same time, maintaining the quality and service our customers have come to expect. We remain committed to continuously investing in superior equipment, employees, and materials.”

Tamar Santana, production manager at Western Shield, adds, “In light of our growth and increased demands on production, this is a very critical investment for the company. It is very important that our customers continue to get their labels on time or early. This press will allow us to do just that, while maintaining our stringent quality standards. In addition, the 13-inch width allows us to run multiple labels across the web, increasing efficiency and lowering costs to our customers.”
