Melrose’s New Screen-Printing Press: Leading the Next Generation of Print Innovation

Over the years, printing technology has evolved significantly, driving breakthroughs that make processes easier, faster, and more efficient. From traditional offset printing to advanced digital and technical printing, each method provides solutions suited for unique needs.

Screen printing, however, remains unparalleled for projects that demand vibrant, durable results. This technique—using a mesh screen to transfer ink—has proven itself as a reliable and versatile solution, particularly in label manufacturing, where it offers distinct advantages:

• Durability: The thick ink layers create labels that withstand various environmental factors, ensuring long-lasting quality.
• Vivid Colors: Ideal for producing bright, bold visuals that capture attention.
• Versatility: Compatible with a wide range of materials, from paper to plastic, making it adaptable for different project requirements.

Being a label printing pioneer in the United States, we have used a wide range of printing techniques to provide dependable, adaptable solutions for our customers’ requirements. Our investment in high-quality equipment benefits customers and empowers our team to perform at their best. This approach ensures everyone wins: our clients receive outstanding solutions, and our staff is equipped with the best tools to achieve exceptional results.

In October 2024, we took a significant step forward by adding our newest screen printing press. David Fabris, our Vice President & General Manager, reflects on this investment, saying,

“When I started in print more than 30 years ago, I worked on a hand table. I dreamed of a machine that had built-in guides for registration and an automated takeoff system. Fast forward to October 2024 and Melrose’s new press is like a dream come true. 

Watching this machine run is so satisfying…makes me want to throw on a smock and run sheets. So excited that Melrose continues to invest in the best tools for our staff. While my screen printing days are behind me, I have never lost my appreciation for the skills it takes to produce this kind of work.”
