Xeikon, a global supplier of digital color printing technology, has successfully implemented the CX300 digital press with Etilab, a Polish printing company specializing in self-adhesive labels. This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone in Etilab’s journey toward enhanced production capabilities and sustainability.

Etilab, founded in November 2000, has been at the forefront of the label printing industry, providing high-quality, digitally printed labels for various sectors, including FMCG, construction, automotive, and publishing. 

The decision to invest in the Xeikon CX300 digital press was driven by Etilab’s need to modernize its existing machine park and adapt to the growing demands for sustainable production methods. The CX300, renowned for its advanced dry toner technology, aligns perfectly with Etilab’s mission to reduce environmental impact while increasing production efficiency.

“The Xeikon CX300 enables us to minimize the consumption of raw materials required for color calibration and significantly enhances our automation and productivity,” says Sylwia Dudek, Etilab’s CEO and Board member. “Moreover, the ability to use new ECO toners, which are to a large extent composed of 60% sustainable ingredients from recycling, is a pivotal element in achieving our sustainability goals.”

The CX300 digital press has increased Etilab’s production capacity and improved product quality. The press’ advanced features, such as constant color self-calibration, have resulted in higher printing speeds and reduced production costs. This has allowed Etilab to expand its product range to include more climate-friendly options, such as Heat Transfer Labels (HTL), and actively reduce the carbon footprint of its labels.

“The successful implementation of the CX300 has significantly contributed to the growth of our company by enhancing our production capabilities and allowing us to meet the increasing demands for sustainable and high-quality labels,” adds Dudek.

Etilab’s choice of Xeikon was influenced by its positive experience with a previous Xeikon model used for six years. The new Xeikon CX300 model, with its more advanced technology and sustainable features, was a natural progression for the company. The continuity in technology and the reliable support from Xeikon ensured a smooth transition and seamless implementation process.

“We have always been satisfied with the level of support provided by Xeikon. The lower prices of toners and other consumables, produced from recycled materials, were also significant factors in our decision,” adds Etilab management.
