This follows earlier Mark Andy installations over 20 years, including a 10in Mark Andy 2200 and two 13in presses from the Performance Series.<\/p>\n

Code-It was founded in 2000 and started making labels in 2002. Its managing director Phil\u00a0Barker linked the business\u2019s equipment choices to input from Mark Andy UK.<\/p>\n

Over time, the business has moved from six to eight UV-cured colours as web widths increased.<\/p>\n

Code-It owner and managing director Phil Barker\u202fsaid: \u201cWith the ease and speed of makeready on a modern flexo press, we can handle all but the shortest of runs economically. The auto-register on the new Performance Series P7 is a great example of how Mark Andy has developed and refined its technology over the years to make life easier for the operator.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company currently operates from 10,000ft\u00b2 across five units and employs 16 people.<\/p>\n

The P7 is an eight-colour, servo-driven press. Its specification includes delam\/relam, turn bars, laminating and dual rewind, alongside UV curing and a Chill Pack for running unsupported film.<\/p>\n

Mark Andy UK sales manager Antony Cotton commented: \u201cAlthough the Performance Series P7 takes Code-It into a new web width, all its Mark Andy presses are compatible in terms of operation.\u202f<\/p>\n

\u201cHaving different web widths is ideal for the range of products it manufactures, including the volume of peel & reveal labels that is showing increased demand.\u202f The company\u2019s investment policy has given it the best of both worlds.\u201d\u200b<\/p>\n
