Jones Healthcare Group, a provider of advanced packaging and medication dispensing solutions, has installed a new, one-of-a-kind Aquaflex LX 2350 label printing and converting press. The press expands the company’s capacity to produce customized laser pharmacy labels with enhanced speed to market for clients. The press is now operational at the company’s facility in London, ON, Canada.

The Aquaflex LX 2350 features double-wide printing at 500 feet per minute through a series of five new-generation, high-precision flexo print stations, allowing for a range of color options and double-sided print capabilities using sustainable water-based inks. With three die stations, the press can produce multiple label configurations with dual web construction including paper and self-adhesive paper. The press also includes a unique matrix extraction system to allow for continuous production runs, increasing efficiencies and reducing waste.

“With its unique double-wide capacity, the new Aquaflex press helps us produce a larger volume of customized, high-quality laser labels for pharmacies more quickly,” adds David Dembski, Jones Senior Vice President – Cartons & Labels. “This is one of multiple equipment investments we are making over the next two years with a focus on enhancing operations and the client experience, while upholding the highest quality outputs for patients and consumers.”
