Headquartered in Ohio, with additional facilities in Wisconsin and Arizona, Repacorp Quality Labels and Packaging has been an early adopter of digital printing and laser diecutting. As a reliable reseller of stock and custom labels, tags, RFID, flexible packaging, shrink sleeves and wide-format products, Repacorp has emphasized efficient, fast turnarounds. To maintain its reputation for reliability, speed and quality, Andy Heinl, vice president of digital labels at Repacorp, detailed the company’s decision to invest in a Labelmaster from SEI Laser.

SEI Laser equipment is sold and serviced in North America through Matik, Inc.

“One of our workhorses is a laser machine we purchased in 2012 that contains SEI Laser components,” says Heinl. “When we began experiencing issues with our other lasers, we reached out to SEI Laser and Matik, Inc. to get a quote on a new system. Matik has provided service for us previously, and we appreciate their fast response and dependable services.”

Founded in 1974, Repacorp has grown to a multimillion-dollar organization through acquisition and its strength in digital and flexographic printing. To learn more about the company, read this L&NW feature here.

In addition to being well-known for reliability, SEI’s Labelmaster has a look similar to Repacorp’s digital printing equipment. Heinl ordered the new laser system with a modular finishing station for flood and spot varnishing, as well as laminating. Its user-friendly interface makes it easy for operators to learn. A roll-to-roll and roll-to-sheet laser system, Labelmaster provides fast make-ready and on-the-fly cutting. The unit offers maximum web speed of 330 fpm (100 m/m); web widths up to 13.75″ (350 mm) and roll diameters up to 24″ (610 mm); and can process a range of materials, such as PET, PP/BOPP and paper.

Additionally, the Labelmaster is modular and can be modified for future capabilities with additional digital and conventional processes such as hot-foil stamping, slitting and sheeting.
