BakPac, the flexible packaging division of Baker Labels, has announced the installation of its (and the UK’s) second HP Indigo 200K digital press, further solidifying its role as a leader in digitally printed flexible packaging. This investment bolsters BakPac’s production capacity, ensuring faster, high quality solutions for customers across the UK and Europe. In line with its two year, £5 million + investment strategy, BakPac will install a third Galaxy Packtech pouch converter, bringing its total to four. Two additional pouch converters are expected in early 2025.
Since its founding, Baker Labels has championed independence and adaptability, qualities that remain core to BakPac’s rapid expansion. As other label and packaging providers consolidate into larger corporations, BakPac leverages its agility as a family business to invest quickly in advanced technologies, ensuring it meets the evolving needs of its diverse clientele.
“Remaining family owned and independent enables us to make fast, strategic decisions, like adding the second HP Indigo 200K and multiple Galaxy converters,” said Steve Baker, Managing Director of Baker Labels. “These investments reflect our focus on supporting our customers with the highest quality products and shortest industry lead times, all while preserving the personal, customer focused ethos that has driven our success for decades.”
This installation also underscores BakPac’s confidence in HP technology, following the successful deployment of the UK’s first Indigo 200K earlier this year.
Darren Godfrey, HP Account Manager for BakPac, commented on the continued partnership, saying, “We are incredibly proud that BakPac has chosen HP Indigo again for this next stage of their expansion. To have earned the trust of such a dynamic, forward thinking business means a lot to HP, and we’re thrilled to support BakPac’s on-going success with the power and reliability of the HP Indigo 200K.”
Enhancing Customer Experience and Market ReachWith expanded capacity from the HP Indigo 200K, BakPac is set to better meet the needs of brands requiring quick, high quality, and customised packaging. This investment allows BakPac to compete in a broader market by offering digitally printed solutions that were traditionally limited to larger scale production, now available in flexible runs.
For customers, the benefits are immediate: high quality packaging, reduced lead times, and the flexibility to customise at scale. With advanced energy efficiency, increased print consistency, and environmentally friendly production, the press is a cornerstone of BakPac’s sustainable growth strategy.
“The second HP Indigo 200K gives us the flexibility and capacity to provide solutions to a wider range of clients,” Baker continued. “We’re excited to continue innovating with HP as we push the limits of what digital printing can do for flexible packaging.”
