Advantage Labels Installs Two Mark Andy Digital Presses Advantage Label & Packaging Inc., based out of Grand Rapids, Michigan, employs 52 individuals and serves a variety of traditional and specialty market segments within the label and packaging industry. With regards to equipment, Advantage is a 100 per- cent Mark Andy operation. Its 32,000 square foot fa- cility is home to a Mark Andy Digital Series, Digital One, Performance Series P5 and P7, two 2200 press- es, and an 830 workhorse. The company installed a Digital One and Digital Se- ries press in late 2017, timed to the integration of new workflow management software.The Digital Se- ries was configured specifically for Advantage’s unique needs. Highly configurable, it consists of 5 multi-purpose flexo stations along with 5 Color UV inkjet capability within the digital module. Additionally, the press was built with a turn-bar, corona treater, and a delam/relam unit, largely to sup- port Advantage’s typical label constructions. The company prints back side adhesives and tags at high volume, alongside other unique flexo and tooling work that nicely complements the True Hybrid archi- tecture of the machine. While the Digital Series tackles complex applica- tions, the Digital One is said to be well-suited for runs under 1,600 feet.
