Print-Leeds launches new division with £1m investment Richard Stuart-Turner Thursday, February 25, 2021
Print-Leeds has branched into self-adhesive label production after investing just over £1m in a new press, finishing kit and MIS and creating a new specialist division.
Fisher: The obvious progression for the company
The business, which already supplies wet glue labels to the beverage and food industries and has operated a digital printing division since 2009, started work on the new business arm around a year ago, with managing director Rod Fisher working on putting together the finance and the right team to take the division to market.
After researching a number of options, including visits to Labelexpo and various manufacturers, the business decided to invest in a Screen LS350 SAI seven-colour press, which Print-Leeds said is the first to be installed in the UK.

Specialist print house Print-Leeds has launched a self-adhesive label division after investing £1m in a new printing press, finishing equipment and MIS system.
The new investment, in a Screen LS 350 SAI seven colour press and modular finishing system Digicon 3, has been a year-long project for owner and MD Rod Fisher (pictured).
The Leeds-based company is renowned as a labels expert, supplying wet glue (paper) labels to the beverage and food industries, and has operated a digital printing division since 2009.
Fisher said: Adding self-adhesive labels to our offering is the obvious progression for the company. It’s been a real lockdown challenge for me – organising the finance, buying the machinery and recruiting the team. When Covid-19 hit I didn’t think I’d be able to achieve this – I thought my plans would be delayed.”
