Quality, service, and pricing: the three driving factors that have fueled Labels Unlimited’s success for the better part of 50 years. “We’re committed to doing whatever it takes to stay the industry leader in these areas,” says owner Rami Akhras. “Whether that means investment in new technology or staff development, our sole focus is on delivering the best possible experience for our customers.”

Over time, Akhras began seeing “more and more customers ordering less volume at more frequent intervals.” With customers “hyper focused on quality” and a growing percentage of its business shifting to digital production, Labels Unlimited needed a more robust, “premium” digital printing solution. In 2022, an investment was made in the company’s first Durst Tau RSC E. After investigating other digital options, Akhras says he was initially impressed by the machine’s high quality and easy-to-understand purchase and service contracts. Additionally, once he began using the machine, he says the cost per label and machine maintenance costs were lower than anticipated.

Akhras says, “Print speed, quality, productivity, and versatility are all critical for us. We were not willing to compromise, and with Durst, we didn’t need to.” Earlier this year, Labels Unlimited installed its second Durst RSC E to replace other aging digital assets and create redundancy in production.
