The firm has fitted Cromalin b3 proofer, a Cyrel Fast thermal processor and a CDI Spark flexo platesetter.
Managing director Duncan Sparrow said: "We found that outsourcing was a time-consuming process, and we were looking to increase the efficiency of our services. We now have complete control over the work from start to finish."
The investment was made possible by DuPont's Uptime finance package, which requires no capital outlay from the customer.
Paul Hammons, Creative Labels account manager, said that the package allowed "quick and easy" installation "without the time delay of raising capital for investment".
Creative Labels recently upped capacity in its pressroom, with the addition of a two-colour Mark Andy narrow-web press.
