"Limpet installed a Mark Andy LP3000 line last year and the two machines will complement each other when the VSR is installed in December," said Paul Briggs, managing director of Mark Andy (UK).

Paul Williams, managing director of Limpet Labels (UK), who bought the kit at last month's Labelexpo Europe, said: "Mark Andy gives good service, and if the machine is half as good as the LP3000 we will be quite satisfied."

His firm handles chemical and hygiene labels as well as short-run work, data handling, booklet labels and cold foiling from its factory in Wrexham, North Wales.
