Superior Tape & Label, Gresham, Oregon, has expanded its production capacity with the installation of a third Weigang flexographic press, completing three identical installations within a 16-month period.
Superior Tape & Label specializes in pressure-sensitive labels and custom labels for a wide range of industries, including food and beverage, healthcare, industrial products and consumer goods.
Out of the three presses at Superior Tape & Label, two presses feature 8-color flexographic printing and one features a 10-color configuration. The presses also feature three die-cutting stations, positioning cold foil, integrated unwind/rewind systems with non-stop operation, multiple hot-air drying units and advanced converting capabilities designed to support efficient production of complex label applications.
Rather than expanding with different equipment platforms, Superior Tape & Label chose to install the same Weigang configuration three times within a single year, highlighting the importance of production consistency, operational reliability and standardized workflows as manufacturing capacity grows.
According to Weigang, the installations reflect a broader shift in equipment evaluation within mature label markets, where converters increasingly prioritize overall production value, long-term operating stability and configuration flexibility alongside initial investment considerations.
