Mark Andy has launched its SmartPress program offering a range of pre-configured press systems designed to reduce delivery times from 16 weeks to eight weeks. Available across the Pro Series, E5 and P7 platforms, the program provides pre-optimised configurations for label, film and shrink sleeve production applications.
Based on Mark Andy’s accumulated engineering experience, the program organises presses by application rather than individual specification, allowing converters to select a purpose-built starting point and add optional packages. The configurations are designed to support installation, facilitate operator training, reduce waste and deliver reliable output from the outset.
Label, film and shrink configurations are available across the company’s Performance Series and Evolution Series platforms, while a label configuration is also offered on the Pro Series. Optional packages cover hot air drying, UV curing, sheeting and conveying, cold foil, extended-run features and quick-changeover systems.
“Converters are under growing pressure to improve ROI, and every week of delay impacts time-to-production, productivity and payback,” said Duane Pekar, CEO of Mark Andy. “SmartPress lets converters invest with confidence, knowing they’re getting a proven configuration that meets their needs on day one without guessing, overspending or leaving an ounce of productivity on the table.”
Early customers, who have cited shorter lead times as a factor in purchasing decisions, include Natural State Label Company, which ordered an E-Series press through the program.
Lindsey Clark, Marketing Manager at Natural State Label Company, said: “The 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.”
