The Netherlands-based printing company has been highly satisfied with the performance of the Digital Master 340, installed less than two years ago, and the support provided by Digital Master. Currently producing over 30,000 linear meters per day at the Geostick Digital Printing Center in Uithoorn, the press effortlessly handles a mix of jobs – from very small to larger run lengths – with just one operator thanks to all production processes in-line, producing finished labels in one pass.

Commenting on the expansion, Cees Schouten, Geostick’s COO, stated, “Being an early adopter of the All-in-One solution has allowed us to remain competitive and sustainable, streamlining operations due to the close integration of flexo, digital, and converting technologies. Now, moving a step further with the Digital Master 510, we will be able to transfer more complex flexographic work to this digitally oriented production process. This will result in even greater efficiency and higher sustainability.”

The highly versatile Digital Master Digital Master 510, configured with a delam-relam module and a turn bar, offers Geostick a modular and future-proof solution, which can be retrofitted with additional modules in the future if needed. Like the existing installed machine, the new label press comes with Digital Master Accucheck for inline calibration and 100% quality control to ensure fault-free label production, less waste and more sustainable operation. Running at up to 100 m/min, the latest All-in-One machine at Geostick is connected to a turret rewinder from AB Graphic International, allowing fully finished label reels to be produced in a single pass, ready for shipment to the client.

With this investment, Geostick expects to achieve significant milestones quickly, including producing 45,000 linear meters in one day over just two shifts. Most importantly, this high output can be managed by a single operator overseeing the entire one-pass process from printing, embellishment, and die-cutting to slitting and rewinding.

“It is particularly rewarding that Geostick, as one of Europe’s most forward-looking label printers, recognizes the huge potential of the Digital Master 510 based on the experience with its first Digital Master All-in-One platform. This latest investment underscores the company’s commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance production capabilities and meet the evolving needs of its clients,” said Matteo Cardinotti, Digital Master Head of Product Line Narrow-Mid Web.
