Innovative Labeling Solutions Completes HP Indigo Label Platform

Innovative Labeling Solutions (ILS), a leading digital labels provider located in Hamilton, OH, has completed installation of an HP Indigo 8000 digital press to drive higher volume production of digitally printed pressure-sensitive labels and shrink sleeves. The HP Indigo 8000 acquisition by ILS makes it the first label converter in North America to operate all three HP Indigo label platforms in one facility.
 
The HP Indigo 8000 was installed in April. ILS also operates two HP Indigo 20000 digital presses, two HP Indigo WS6800 digital presses and one HP Indigo WS6600 digital press. The HP Indigo 8000 digital press prints at double the speed of an HP Indigo WS6800 press, at up to 262 linear fpm.
 
“The heightened speed of the Indigo 8000 increases our capacity to more efficiently produce pressure-sensitive labels, delivering the productivity of two WS6000 series presses with a smaller footprint,” Jay Dollries, ILS president and CEO, said.
 
ILS uses HP Indigo digital presses for prime labels, flexible packaging and shrink sleeves for a range of markets including craft beer, nutraceuticals, household products, health and beauty, and specialty foods.
