Mark Andy has announced the SmartPress Program, bringing 80 years of engineering expertise into a set of production-ready press configurations that cut delivery time in half, from 16 weeks to eight. Available on the Pro Series, E5, and P7 platforms, SmartPress helps converters start capturing revenue earlier with configurations optimized for Labels, Film + Label, or Shrink + Label, with optional packages to match specific production needs.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cConverters are under growing pressure to improve ROI, and every week of delay impacts time-to-production, productivity, and payback,\u201d says Duane Pekar, CEO, Mark Andy. \u201cSmartPress is built on what customers value most: reliable presses printing quality applications productively every day. It lets converters invest with confidence, knowing they\u2019re getting a proven configuration that meets their needs on day one without guessing, overspending, or leaving an ounce of productivity on the table. SmartPress delivers the fastest path to ROI while giving customers control of the capabilities they need to compete.\u201d<\/p>\n
Early SmartPress customers are already seeing the value of faster lead times and a streamlined buying process.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re excited to add another Mark Andy press to our operation with the new E-Series. This will be our third flexo press purchase from Mark Andy, and the experience continues to reinforce why we keep coming back,\u201d says Lindsey Clark, marketing manager for Natural State Label Company. \u201cThe fast production lead time played a major role in helping us move forward quickly, and their team made the entire process simple from quoting to planning. Mark Andy has always been responsive, easy to work with, and willing to go the extra mile whenever support is needed. We\u2019re looking forward to getting the new press installed and continuing to grow with a partner we trust.\u201d<\/p>\n
The SmartPress Program organizes press configurations by application, enabling converters to choose a purpose-built starting point aligned to their production goals. SmartPress configurations include Label, Film, and Shrink, offered across Mark Andy\u2019s Performance Series and Evolution Series platforms, with a SmartPress Label configuration also available on the Pro Series.<\/p>\n
To ensure flexibility, the SmartPress Program also includes a menu of optional packages that can be added based on application needs including: hot air drying, UV curing, sheeting and conveying, cold foil, extended-run features, and quick-changeover packages.<\/p>\n
SmartPress reflects Mark Andy\u2019s approach to robust, productivity-led press engineering: configurations are based on decades of know-how and are designed to deliver reliable, repeatable output with minimal waste and a faster ramp-up. The program\u2019s production-ready setups support smoother installation and training, helping teams become proficient sooner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Mark Andy has announced the SmartPress Program, bringing 80 years of engineering expertise into a set of production-ready…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":693714,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[4,450,451,3,452,453],"class_list":["post-693713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking-news","tag-breaking-news","tag-breakingnews","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=693713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/693713\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/693714"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=693713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=693713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=693713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
