Ritter’s Printing & Packaging, a Fort Lauderdale, FL-based printer, has announced investements in new label converting equipment to elevate client options in color and finish types. Since 1988, Ritter’s Printing & Packaging has consistently led the way in offering fast and effective printing and packaging solutions to their clients. The latest addition consists of two pieces of equipment – the Bobst Mouvent LB702 digital label press, and the GM DC350Flex+ finisher.

The Bobst LB702 offers a range of label printing options, with an expanded color gamut that includes six colors (CMYKOV) plus white printing capabilities. The Bobst LB702 will enable Ritter’s Printing & Packaging to color match virtually any Pantone color while offering 1200 x 1200 dpi resolution on all label prints. Prime labels are now available for a wide range of industries, including:
• Cosmetics
• Health and beauty
• Food and beverage
• Pharmaceutical
• Nutraceuticals
• Household goods
• Pet supplies
• Industrial

The new label press can print 100,000 linear feet per eight-hour shift, offering clients a quick turnaround time on both short and long-run projects. Clients can also print multiple SKUs with varying quantities in one run, while also benefiting from sequential numbering and barcodes.

The GM DC350Flex+ finisher offers clients a wide variety of gloss and matte finishing options using UV varnish or film lamination. For higher-quality prime labels, there are specialty films and coatings that add sensory components like soft-touch, holographic, and textured materials. Cold foil, metallic inks, and varnishes are available to enhance the label printing. Clients can also make use of cast and cure, which allows for an etched image onto the printing substrate.

Ritter’s Printing & Packaging President Steve Ritter is excited about the two new additions. He says, “With this investment, we can deliver labels in days, not weeks, print with industry-leading quality, and thanks to the inkjet printing technology we can eliminate expensive legacy processes like flexo plates and tooling.”
