Nova Label Expands Production with a Digital UV Retrofit from Colordyne

Nova Label Co., Inc. is  a manufacturer of quality, pressure sensitive labels in Cheverly, Maryland. The label converter installed a Colordyne 3800 Series UV – Retrofit to expand the markets it can serve. The addition allows Nova Label to produce more applications with UV inkjet’s durable printing, lower consumable costs and affordable short run capabilities.

A Unique Retrofit Approach

With over 50 years of experience in the label industry, Nova Label provides labels for a variety of industries including direct mail, food and beverage and more. The company started its digital journey with a water-based inkjet printer in 2016. While evaluating a potential upgrade, Nova Label connected with Colordyne in 2019. The companies stayed in touch regarding press advancements and in 2021, the label converter chose to incorporate Colordyne’s 3800 Series UV – Retrofit into its print production.

Alan Rich, President of Nova Label says, “everyone is jumping into digital, and we couldn’t find another product in the market that can compare to Colordyne’s unique retrofit approach.” Rich continues, “The 3800 Series UV – Retrofit allows us to continue using our existing press and tooling equipment. Plus it doesn’t require additional floor space as it is mounted on top of our Mark Andy 2200 flexo press. As did our original water-based inkjet retrofit, the UV retrofit from Colordyne fits well with our in-line converting production. We knew it was going to be the best upgrade solution and took advantage of it.”
