STATE OF THE ART
Through the decades, investment in the latest printing technology and equipment as well as highly skilled operators has kept Baker Labels at the forefront of the label printing industry.
Bakers operates with three HP Indigo 6900 presses running alongside a Nilpeter FB-3 flexo press and two Screen UV inkjet Truepresses giving us the freedom to choose the best technology to produce optimum labels for your specific application. All presses are reel to reel with either inline or offline finishing and sheeting. The finishing is completed on a comprehensive range of ABG Digicons and slitter rewinders ensuring virtually any label can be produced to suit your requirements.

Truepress Jet L350 UV and L350 UV+LM Inkjet digital presses
The Screen inkjet presses complement the Indigos. They are faster, with excellent up-time and eat the work, with a very good white for clear and silver stocks. High pigmented colours with a combination of advanced print heads & screening can produce smoother gradations resulting in truly stunning photo quality detail that’s up to 600 dpi at a top speed of 50m p/m or 30m p/m with white. The L350UV+LM offers an increased colour gamut including orange ink along with the C, M, Y, K set and white ink. Orange ink enables richer reproduction of vivid colours, adding to the visual appeal of fruits and other foods.
Ideal for top quality high scuff resistant products on multiple substrates with possible savings on over-laminates or even varnishing. We have introduced fully variable capability on the machine, now able to print complex multi-page PDFs. The UV cured ink has a much higher build than the Indigo with the result being more of a screen label look than litho with very wide colour gamut, giving a high gloss, durable and lightfast result with great scratch resistance. In addition, the L350 UV+LM has an incredibly stable transport mechanism that tightly controls paper feeding to maintain optimal transfer conditions. This precision is essential for producing detailed dot codes such as QR and barcodes, as well as any other security printing requiring a high level of accuracy.
Flexo printing
Nilpeter FB-3
The printer of choice for larger runs and for complex multi-layer, multi pass constructions. Featuring a rail system which contains De-Lam/Re-Lam, turner bar, 4 towers for over-laminating substrates and a crossover unit. We have also installed a servo re-insertion unit with web guide and a corona plus a rotary screen unit for embellishments, fluorescents etc.
The dual axis servo transport system ensures that the FB-3 will continuously deliver the highest level of print reproduction as well as unparalleled registration performance.
We’ve also installed a new rotary screen unit – the first one to be fitted to a FB3 Nilpeter. The main plan for the Stork unit is for re-registering work from the digitals to give high build and tactile effects but there are also opportunities to do more specialist work.

Rewinders
We use both the HSR330 Rewinder and the Omega SRI Rewinder – the new generation of label converting and finishing with rewinding speeds of up to 350m/min. Fully integrated FleyeVision 100% inspection control with screen operation, connected with an integrated work flow for waste management. The SRI range uses the latest servo drive technology combined with PC/SPS based control resulting in a new level of sophistication to meet today’s ever increasing demands. In February 2018 we also installed an Auto Set Vectra SGTR glueless turret rewinder from AB Graphics.The Vectra SGTR holds the substrate to the cores at the start of a new roll without stopping or slowing down the converting equipment. In addition, it is fitted with a print and apply label applicator to close the finished roll with a label. Quick, fast and clean, it is especially suitable for rewinding labels which have been printed on heat sensitive substrates, or using heat sensitive inks, finishes or decorations.
