New Rotoflex VSI Machines Going to Germany and Canada

Astro-Med, Inc. (NASDAQ: ALOT), a leading supplier of label printing solutions, continues to invest in new capabilities and technology to serve its QuickLabel Systems brand. The company has selected two Rotoflex VSI400 inspection rewind machines designed to deliver high quality labels to end-users in North America and Europe, as well as end-use labels and label products to their diverse global markets.

“Rotoflex continues to see a strong resurgence over the past two years. We are excited to work with a leading-edge company like Astro-Med, Inc. and its QuickLabel Systems brand. The significant reach of Rotoflex through the distribution channels and global offices of Mark Andy Inc. provides a solid foundation for strong service and support,” stated Ken Daming, Rotoflex business unit manager. The purchase includes the VSIs and two new Mark Andy 2200 flexo presses which will be installed in the QuickLabel Systems label factories in Rodgau, Germany and Brossard, Canada.

 

With dozens of flexographic label presses already in-house, the QuickLabel SystemsQuickFlex™ custom label printing service can print thousands or millions of custom labels and tags in a short timeframe, for tight budgets. QuickLabel Systems factories offer high-end flexographic label printing with every finishing option including varnishing, lamination (including thermal transfer printable), cold foil stamping, sheeting, rewinding, slitting and perforation. QuickLabel Systems supplies "the labels you want when you need them," meeting exacting quality standards, budget and shipping deadlines.

The Rotoflex machines were selected to ensure quality inspection and delivery of custom flexo labels and digitally printed labels. In addition to these two new installations, the company already has three Rotoflex units at the headquarters factory in West Warwick, Rhode Island and several more at their newly acquired label factory in Asheboro, North Carolina (USA). “We have relied on Rotoflex inspection rewinders for years. When we decided to expand our manufacturing capacity in Canada and Germany, we chose Rotoflex because they fit our specifications best and are extremely reliable. We prefer them,” stated Elias G. Deeb, vice president of Media Manufacturing of QuickLabel Systems, an Astro-Med Inc. brand. QuickLabel Systems makes digital color label printers, labels, thermal transfer ribbons and other label printing inks, and offers custom label printing services.
