Eclipse Label Equipment has announced a new partnership with AstroNova, enabling the company to offer a complete digital label production solution for the label and packaging industry.
The partnership brings together AstroNova’s QuickLabel digital label printers with Eclipse Label Equipment’s digital finishing systems, creating an integrated solution for label converters, print businesses and manufacturers looking to produce short to medium-run labels in-house.
Eclipse Label Equipment offers the Eclipse Mini+ and Eclipse LF350s, which provide lamination, digital cutting, slitting and rewinding for roll-to-roll label production. By adding AstroNova digital label printers to the range, Eclipse can now supply a complete workflow from full-color digital print through to finished labels.
For label producers, the partnership provides a practical route to increase flexibility, reduce reliance on pre-die cut stock, shorten lead times and handle a wider range of customer requirements.
The systems are particularly suited to short and medium-run production where fast changeover, reduced waste and digital cutting flexibility are increasingly important.
The Eclipse and AstroNova solution offers:
• Digital label printing
• Lamination
• Digital die cutting
• Slitting
• Rewinding
• Roll-to-roll production
• Inline print and finishing options
• UK-based support from Eclipse Label Equipment
Eclipse Label Equipment is now able to demonstrate a complete label production workflow, from artwork and print through to lamination, cutting and finished rolls.
The company is also offering sample production and online demonstrations for businesses interested in reviewing the system for their own label applications.
