PULSE ROLL LABEL PRODUCTS LTD SET FOR NEW BESPOKE BASE
Yate’s Stover Trading Estate is to become the new home of Pulse Roll Label Products in a 24,000 sq ft deal negotiated by national commercial property consultancy.
The specialist ink manufacturer for the global printing market has taken a ten year lease on Unit U on the estate, located 11 miles north east of Bristol city centre.
On the advice of LSH and joint agent BNP Paribas, the property will undergo a significant refurbishment programme by the landlords prior to occupancy later this month (December). Works include new offices, improved security features and amenity areas.
To meet its business needs exactly, Pulse Roll is making further revisions through the addition of a laboratory which, explains director Gary Seward, is a key operational requirement.
He says: "For R&D purposes, high quality laboratory facilities are essential particularly when testing new inks used in the food manufacturing industry where segregation and non contamination is vital. At Pulse Roll we strive for good manufacturing practice and are confident these new premises, once complete, will give us the right amount of quality space in which to grow and develop our worldwide export business."
Tim Beare, Associate Director in LSH’s Bristol office commented: "Due to the nature of its operations the tenant needed accommodation which complied with its high specification requirements. Our client was able to provide this at Stover where, following works, Unit U will offer good quality space with excellent security and refurbished offices".

PULSE QUALIFIES FOR HP ‘How to Guide’
UK based ink manufacturer Pulse Roll Label Products has been added to the list of approved suppliers in the HP ‘How to guide’ – Selecting Varnishes and Over-lamination for HP Indigo Labels and Packaging Digital Press. The company qualifies following rigorous testing of two of its IV DigiTech UV flexo varnishes for digital printing at the HP Indigo demonstration centre in Spain and at its manufacturing facility in Israel.
The IV Digitech range of UV varnishes is aimed at users of HP Indigo digital presses and is available in gloss, matt, super matt and foil block-able formulations. The range also includes a UV primer that permits in-line UV printing or overprinting to accept digital inks. The formulations are suited to a wide range of substrates including coated paper, board, coated thermal paper, treated and primed synthetics as well as aluminium foils. A new addition to the range includes a high-slip digital varnish developed for wine labels that is available in a matt or gloss finish.
"The problem lies in achieving good product resistance when overprinting digitally printed webs" says Pulse Managing Director, Gary Seward. "The IV varnishes offer excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals as well as hot fill applications where conventional formulations tend to crack. HP has seen the benefits of these products in use at many of our customers.The Digitech IV UV overprint varnishes for HP Indigo presses have been specially formulated to provide optimised product resistance without the need to Corona treat or drive off residual imaging oil. We are delighted to have been added to the HP ‘How to guide’ which reflects our growing standing as a key international player in the label ink industry".
