Blue Label Digital Printing grows its sales ten-fold with automated production system

Customer

Blue Label Digital Printing

Based in Lancaster, OH, Blue Label Digital Printing specializes in custom label manufacturing for beer, wine, specialty foods, spirits, health and beauty, juice and more.

Their 50 employees and HP Indigo digital presses let them run small and large batches with three- to five-business day turn around times.

Challenge

As an all-digital printer, the majority of the jobs at Blue Label are small. They needed a way to stay profitable, even on the non-value added tasks.

Blue Label also wanted an MIS system that would link easily with their automated production workflow.

Benefits

• the prepress department now creates value focusing on the one-up customer artwork rather than on procedural tasks
• the creation and approval of the proof files and sending ganged step and repeat files to the press are done automatically
• throughput has expanded by a factor of 10, with minimal staff increases
