Established in January 2019 by owner and company director Catalin Tutuianu, AtoZ Printing is based in Kingsley near Bordon in Hampshire. It specialises in producing finished and embellished labels for a wide variety of industry sectors, with prominent examples being food and drink packaging and household consumer products. Having already utilised a desk top digital label press, the company was experiencing production restrictions due to the narrow web it would run and the slow printing operating speed. It turned to Konica Minolta to find the right solution.

Building on an already excellent reputation with its local and national UK customer base, AtoZ Printing was keen to find the right solution to increase production levels, as Catalin commented, ‘I had used Konica Minolta’s label presses in the past and was impressed by the quality, ease of use and speed. Along with my excellent working knowledge of these solutions, it was clear that the company had the right solutions to address our productivity issues.’

The bizhub Press C71cf offers ease of operation, low maintenance, and impressive reliability that makes it a highly compelling choice for label producers. Catalin added, ‘The timing was perfect – Konica Minolta had a machine ready and offered us an excellent pay per click package. We were able to realise the benefits very quickly, producing up to 3000 metres of products a day – which would have been more typical for a whole month before! This also means the turnaround time for jobs of four to five days beforehand, has been slashed to two to three days now.’

Catalin is already looking towards the next step in the company’s evolution. ‘Business is flourishing, and we have ambitious growth targets, so we are talking to the Konica Minolta team to explore how its solutions can further support this.’
