Jacquelin Freres adds an HP Indigo 6900 to stay competitive in the French wine-label market

Wednesday 18. November 2020 - Jacquelin Freres, the largest printer of wine labels in Burgundy (France), has recently completed the purchase and installation of an HP Indigo 6900 press at its Savigny-les-Beaune site to meet the growing demand for luxury wine labels. This installation marks the milestone of the 300th HP Indigo press to be sold in France.

Located in the heart of Burgundy since 1990, Jacquelin Frères prints both adhesive and traditional variations of wine labels to fit the vast range of budgets, scales and needs demanded by its customers. From gilding to screen printing and embossing to curving, Jacquelin Frères needed a high-tech and versatile press capable of delivering the complex labels its winery customers require, without compromising on quality or speed.
Having first encountered the HP Indigo 6600 at Label Expo 2013, Max Jacquelin, General Manager of the multi-site company, was intrigued by the potential of the HP Indigo series. Following numerous demonstrations, the brand signed for an HP Indigo 6900 six years later at Label Expo 2019 after a demonstration of the press exceeded their expectations.
“For us and our clients, the quality of the finished product is the most important aspect of the service we provide, which had a decisive impact on our choice of press. The competition amongst the wineries themselves has forced our clients to be inventive and artistic with their labels, and as a business we had to ensure we could consistently deliver on an enormous variety of finishes including embellishment, gilding, embossing and the like”, says Max Jacquelin, General Manager, Jacquelin Frères. “The choice of tech is really important to our business model and so we are constantly investing in the latest and best equipment. The HP Indigo 6900 press was exactly the right choice in order to ensure we consistently deliver on excellent quality, every step of the way,” Jacquelin added.
The HP Indigo 6900 Digital Press prints any label in a simple, more productive and profitable way, demonstrating versatility regardless of the finish. With renowned print quality, the HP indigo 6900 meets the most stringent corporate branding requirements with gravure-matching quality, delivering high-resolution printing and perfect registration.
