Bigger, Faster, Slicker: The Game-Changing Impact of Catapult Print’s 26” Press.

The Challenge

A global meat manufacturer came to Catapult Print struggling with slow lead times, high costs, and rigid ordering.  The company was experiencing extremely high quantities of wasted stock due to over ordering, it was exhausting the team and the finances and placing extreme pressure on the business – something needed to change, fast. They needed a solution that offered them flexibility, speed, and savings.

Our Solution

Catapult Print stepped in with a solution that would redefine the client’s entire printing process. Enter the 26” press, the largest press in the US, designed to print more labels at once, offering a level of efficiency, flexibility, and speed they had been missing. 

Engineered to deliver more with less, the 26” press allowed us to print faster, with better color accuracy, and on a wider range of materials—all while reducing setup times. The press also handles multiple SKUs in a single run, which means the client no longer needs to worry about ordering in bulk to meet MOQs. 

The Outcome

With Catapult Print’s 26” press in action, we helped our client save 31% on their overall pressure-sensitive label spend. We also reduced their lead time to just 5 days, a significant improvement over their previous system. The faster printing speeds led to 20-30% cost savings and allowed us to print a wider variety of SKUs in a single run, improving both productivity and quality.

– 31% savings in overall pressure-sensitive label spend.

– No minimum order quantities—order exactly what you need, when you need it.

– 5-day lead time—drastically faster turnaround times.

– Fixed pricing model for similarly sized SKUs, eliminating cost uncertainty.

What they said

“Catapult Print’s 26” press has completely transformed our label production. The speed, flexibility, and cost savings are beyond what we expected. We’ve reduced costs by 31%, improved our lead times, and gained the flexibility to order exactly what we need—when we need it. It’s a game changer for our operations.”
