At Harkwell we are at the forefront of the label manufacturing industry thanks to our innovation and high quality products. Alongside the range of labels that we manufacture, our latest fantastic addition to our product offering is pouches. We have a wide range in different shapes and sizes. Not only are these perfect for merchandising a range of products but are also great for sample marketing if you are still testing the waters.

Pouches are multifunctional as they help you maximise the shelf space while also offering a memorable product with superb quality and captivating digital printing. The stand-up pouches for instance offer flexible packaging and remain steady on the shelf when filled.

The spout pouches, for example, have become one of the most popular packaging items currently being used for liquid or viscous products such as foods, drinks, chemicals and even cosmetics. These are perfect for powerful branding and product presentation.

If you are looking for cost-effectiveness, easy portability and maximising shelf space, pillow pouches are a good option. The food industry loves these as no other pouches can keep the food as fresh and crisp right until the pouch is opened. These are light weight and easier to manufacture in comparison to cans, which essentially means less manufacturing costs. The scope for experiment is awesome, giving you an opportunity to create a better brand identity.

Our design team can help develop the right dimensions and spout pouch for your product. Whether you are a small start-up testing the market or a large business looking to improve your current brand image, a good quality pouch can help boost sales in today's competitive market.

Harkwell Labels, has recently taken delivery of two new finishing machines from A B Graphic International (ABG). Following an ongoing period of growth, the investment increases our impressive line-up of ABG machines to seven.

The new arrivals include an additional Digicon Series 3 - ABG’s flagship machine - which includes a screen printing unit and thermal lamination module, and a Digicon Lite SR. The move, will allow us to keep pace with continued customer demands, follows recent purchases of a second screen unit on an existing Digicon Series 3 and our first Digicon Lite - a machine specifically made for shorter runs and aimed at increasing job flexibility.

Tim Fountain, Harkwell Labels owner and managing director, said: “Having moved into a purpose-built factory in 2016 to keep up with demands capacity, our growth has continued into 2020. We see the increase in our customer base is testament to the ongoing quality of our work. 

Harkwell chose ABG’s Digicon Series 3 to offer our customers the highest level of embellishment and finishing capabilities - particularly important for our customers in the vaping and pharmaceutical markets.” 

Commenting on the new investment, Mark Hyde, ABG’s UK sales manager, said: “Seeing  Harkwell grow and develop over the years has been a pleasure. We have a lot of shared values and it’s great to see that our future proofing ethos has allowed them to add modules as and when required.
​
“We appreciate that this increased flexibility, as well as the capabilities of our finishing equipment, are the key reasons for their continued investment in ABG equipment and we look forward to seeing the impact of these machines on quality and future business growth.”

Using the new technology, it is able to offer high build embellishments legally required on many products in the vaping, pharma, agriculture and automotive markets, amongst many others.
Harkwell Labels is the first in the UK with the new module, and Tim Harkwell, the printer's managing director said: ‘As labeling regulations become ever more stringent we feel this investment from AB Graphic will allow us competitive advantage by offering rotary screen prices with minimal set-up fees using flat screens.
‘In addition, we’ll be able to offer "jump off the shelf" embellishments in silk screen attracting the beverage, cosmetics and other high value product markets. We will also be able to produce vibrant high impact colours that neither digital or flexo are able to achieve.’
Launched at Labelexpo Europe 2017, the upgraded screen printing module allows what used to be the slowest module on a finishing machine to double its speed and offers numerous benefits to operators.
AB Graphic sales director Tony Bell said: ‘We had fantastic response at Labelexpo and since then have received multiple enquiries and orders for the module. With a larger print and repeat area, increased speed and improved UV curing ensuring consistency along the whole web, we are confident this is the best solution for screen in the finishing market.’
