JPatton, a Georgia-based pioneer in brand authentication and secure printing, has taken a major step forward with the installation of the HP Indigo 6K Secure Press at its Duluth production facility. This new addition signals a leap in JPatton’s mission to deliver advanced, high-assurance security solutions for some of the world’s most recognizable brands.

Since its inception in 1996, JPatton has been at the forefront of new brand authentication technology and security solutions. Therefore, JPatton is constantly evolving and growing its portfolio to ensure it always stays ahead of counterfeits to protect their brand partners. With the HP Indigo 6K Secure Press, JPatton can now integrate multi-layered security features. These include microtext and additional security layers – within a single-pass workflow, improving production speed, accuracy, and cost-efficiency. The result is a fully streamlined, end-to-end process that reduces operational complexity, accelerates time to market, and lowers total cost of ownership. The press also upholds the highest standards of product integrity and brand protection.

Incorporating HP’s technology enables JPatton to meet the growing demand for authentication tools across regulated markets. Its solutions are targeted for pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, alcohol, and tobacco. With the versatility of HP’s Indigo 6K Secure Press, JPatton is positioned to serve partners requiring high-assurance solutions like tax stamps and serialized product tracking. Thanks to HP Indigo’s print quality and color consistency, JPatton prints products that not only meet rigorous compliance standards but also strengthen consumer trust.

Sustainability gains

Beyond operational gains, the installation aligns with JPatton’s long-term sustainability objectives. As part of its ambition to achieve net-zero waste across its operations by 2030, the HP Indigo 6K Secure Press, designed to have a zero-carbon footprint, supports the company’s broader commitment to sustainable manufacturing.

“Having spent years developing security tools for trading cards and global brands like Colgate, Keebler, Coors Brewing, and Microsoft, I understand how critical it is to offer flexible, high-performance solutions that protect both reputations and consumers,” remarks Pete Reyes, vice president and managing director, JPatton. “The HP Indigo 6K Secure Press is years ahead of the competition and is the perfect addition to our robust manufacturing facility.”
