Menter Ltd Revitalises Its Label Production
With Konica Minolta’s AccurioLabel
Menter Ltd, a long‑established professional print provider in South Wales, has revitalised its label production by installing a Konica Minolta AccurioLabel digital press. After early attempts to enter the label market were held back by unsuitable equipment and limited service support, the business needed a reliable, high‑quality solution to meet growing demand from local food producers, manufacturers, and trade customers. Choosing a Konica Minolta AccurioLabel, with support from a Welsh Government grant, has delivered the consistent output and dependable UK‑based service Menter required. The new press has enabled the company to re‑establish its label offering and expand into a wider range of applications, from food and safety labels to retail tags, barcoded forms, and specialist pockets. It has opened new revenue opportunities, strengthened competitiveness, and positioned the company for growth in a market with far greater potential than traditional business forms.
Challenges
Menter first entered the label market in 2018, but the equipment it purchased at the time proved unsuitable for commercial‑grade label production. The machine struggled to deliver the consistency and quality required, and service support was limited, with technicians based overseas and difficult to reach. The disruption caused by COVID‑19 further slowed progress and prevented the business from further developing its label offering at the time.
Solution
Menter invested in a Konica Minolta AccurioLabel digital press, supported in part by a Welsh Government grant. The decision was driven by two key factors: the consistently high print quality of the AccurioLabel platform and the availability of dependable, local service from Konica Minolta’s service team.
The AccurioLabel immediately delivered the reliability and output quality Menter had been missing. It now supports a wide range of applications, including food and preserve labels, chemical and safety labels, tags for a major UK retailer, barcode and variable‑data labels, and specialist pockets and forms for manufacturing and aviation customers.
