Afinia Label partners with Crown Packaging

Afinia Label has announced it has completed a reseller’s agreement with Crown Packaging of Chesterfield, MO, USA. Crown Packaging will be selling the Afinia Label L801 Color Label Printer; Epson ColorWorks C3500, C831, and C7500 label printers; and related supplies.

“We are excited to work with Crown Packaging, a well-respected label industry leader in the mid-western US,” says Mike Atkins, Afinia Label’s national sales manager. “They have expertise in many markets, a strong history of service, and a large presence in the US, Canada, and Mexico.”

The Afinia Label L801 Color Label Printer is powered by Memjet technology, which gives it a print speed of 60 feet per minute and an industry-leading ink cost of less than 3 cents for a 4” x 6” label with 75% coverage. Atkins says this is a fraction of the cost of other inkjet label printers. The L801 supports three print modes: Roll to Roll, Roll to Cut, Print & Hold.

Epson ColorWorks Label Printers are designed for on-demand, short-run primary and secondary label production. They also comply with BS5609 standards, when used with a proper label substrate.

Mark Jones, director of Crown Labeling Division, says, “Our equipment offerings had been limited to narrow-format, thermal printers, which work really well for text, barcodes, and other marking. The Afinia Label L801 and Epson label printers will allow our clients to add full-color product images to their labels to increase the accuracy of placing and picking inventory.”
