January 2012 and we are proud to have been asked to supply labels for products that are part of a new four part TV series to be aired in March, we are to have cameras here during late January and we will up-date as we can.

January 2012 and are please to welcome Tim to the team. Tim is a "litho" printer by trade but after spending a day with us we feel his approach to work and outlook is going to see him fitting in to the team with ease.

December 2011 and the first of our 30th Birthday events - 1982 themed Quiz a little early but we thought it would help while away your Christmas break!

December 2011 and our Christmas Charities this year are The RNLI, The NSPCC and Diabetes UK.

December 2011, the year draws to a close, its been a busy year for us with lots happening, to find out more please visit the Blog

30th November 2011 and more investment, although not on such a grand scale. A new Lifting "jib" has been added to the Focus "2 colour" Press and we have replaced our Compressor with a brand new one to keep up when all Presses are running, it is a more efficient "Almig" machine and also benifits from having an internal "dryer" and "receiver", Paul from P C Mechanical has looked after our "air" requirements since we moved sourcing the "used" machine that has served us well over the past five years, "plumbing" this in as a "back up" machine.

15th November 2011 and we launch our first ever Customer Survey. We have a good idea of the areas we need to improve, but it is hoped that we may gain more of an insight to how our customers view us through the "web" based survey. For the results please visit the Blog

13th October 2011 It is 20 years today since Ian Dennis joined Secura Labels. In his time with us Ian has become a key member of the Staff, from Hot Foil Printing, Thermal Transfer, Plate Making, Rewinding and Flexo Press "minder", but one of Ian`s key assets is in his mechanical skills. It is a pleasure to work with Ian and we look forward to the next 20! For more please see the Blog

October 2011 and we are pleased to announce the promotion of Richard Phillips to Supervisor. Richard joined Secura in August 2000 as a rewind operator, he moved then to the Foil dept., became our Thermal Transfer "expert" before becoming one of our key Flexo. Press operators. Much of this Richard has undertaken to learn himself and it is just reward that he should "win" this role.

September 2011 News of the demise of another label printer is never welcomed and we hope the staff of the The Plain Label Company are able to find empolyment soon.

Label Expo 2011 is nearly upon us. The one stop shop for all that we should ever need!.

A role to fill, we are looking for a Flexo Press Operator to join the team. Details can be found here The candidate will be an experienced printer able to competently run blanks through to multi-coloured work. The roll is created after John has decided to take a career change, John has been with us for more than 20 years and we would like to thank him for all his effort and also wish him the best of luck in his new role.

July 2011 and we are pleased to welcome Susan Barton to the team. Susan will fill a role of Sales Admin., working alongside Gill, Jane, Steve and Simon. We see Susan`s role key in improving our communication with the ever growing customer base.

May 2011 and Secura Labels are pleased to supply Bearded Theory Music Festival with not only Window Stickers for Car Park / Routing, but also Wristbands and BackStage / Access All Area Passes, these where jobs that push our machines to produce some interesting work.

March 10th 2011 and the arrival of the new 13" Press.

January 2011 and Secura Labels are pleased to announce further investment, another 13" Focus Proflex machine. After some investigation into other machines both new and used, the "Team" at Secura decided to stick with a British and local manufacturer. The existing Focus press has been at the heart of the recent growth at Secura and this second machine should both consolidate current work and allow for future expansion.

December 2010, and after being at Unit L2 (and latterly L1) for 5 years, a little building "TLC" was required, a new floor coating and movement of cutter, ink, cores and other ancillary storage took place in a bid to improve the flow of material through the factory. A further fulltime member of the production staff was also found bringing the total to 8.

Secura are pleased to support Tetraplegic Charity Regain by providing race numbers for their Snowdon Challenge, as well as a Team member! As the 10th running of the event, a team including a Tetraplegic was put together and Simon Miller was "lucky" to be a member. see Simons Blog for more info - Sinaicycle

June 2010 and a further expension as Secura takes the ajoining unit, its primary fuction as "warehouse". Alongside the extra floor space, a further member of staff has been taken on, working mainly on goods in and out, but assisting with general factory duties. Dont forget you can keep upto date by visiting our Blog a more "informal" information source!, and if thats not enough Twitter

September 2009 and Secura Labels having been assessed and approved achieve ISO 9001

May 2008 and further investment. A 330mm wide Turret Rewind unit is installed providing a more streamline finishing option. Able to take 25mm, 44mm and 76mm cores, the unit removes the need for a second "rewind" operation. On one recent job the post press rewind method would have taken approx 2 weeks to rewind alone, with the Turret the order, 17,000,000 16 x 22mm labels across 30 plates, was delivered in a week.

In the Spring of 2007 Secura Labels’ add the final pieces of the 2005 planned investment programme, a Sheeter and "Ben Bunch" in-line Fanfold unit, offering even further benefits to their growing customer base.

September 2006 and our continuing investment into the latest print technology applications now enables us to provide the very best in printing facilities, including a 330mm wide focus Proflex four colour UV printer, with the ability to reverse print or print of both sides of the material, be it paper, plastic, foil or film; and an eight colour printing press, all from our "new" base in Measham, which has increased our floorspace and increased our capacity by around 50%.

During 2005, Secura Labels bagan the planning of a programme of investment and expansion. This would enable an improved and extended service. A visit to Labelexpo in Brussels looking at Wide Web Presses and regular site visits to potential new "homes" took up much time during the Autumn.

2000 a new decade and a new Secura Labels as David and Kay Webster decided to retire. It was business as usual though with Pemberstone`s "Capital Ventures", as it was then, wishing to maintain the company as it was. Other acquisitions were sought, but none were found to suit the "profile" the Directors were looking for.

Following another European visit in 1997, this time to LabelExpo in Brussels, the first Brand New machinery is purchased, an AB Graphics slitter / rewind unit. This was a requirement with the two Nilpeters and Ident producing much more volume than the two "table top" rewinders could cope with.

Following a trip to Amsterdam in 1994 a 3 colour Nilpeter F240 arrives at Paceprint Works. This press was, it is fair to say, in need of some "TLC", and the Press was almost completely rebuilt before entering service.

1992 and Secura Label`s largest investment to date, a 6 Colour Nilpeter F240 Press, a couple of years old at a cost of £88,000.00. This Press gave more colour options, and with a wider web, opened up in-roads into new markets and gave better options for existing customers.

1988, April 1st, and a move to Paceprint Works in Moira. The 2 Idents and now 3 Foil machines, appeared lost in the new space, but within a short time a 6" Stanford Flexo press was sought and at its height the Foil department could boast 5 machines. To join the in house artwork, a platemaker was obtained, and so Secura Labels could offer a complete "In House" service.

1986, Unit 10 Ivanhoe Ind Est in Ashby-de-la-Zouch, now with 4 "full time" and 2 "part time" staff, 2 Ident Flexo Presses, 2 Foil Presses, and now able to offer "in house" artwork.

1984, with a further member of staff, and its first "Foil" press, a move to Chapel Works in Ashby-de-la-Zouch was required. Moving on from here forced by the acquisition of the site for the building of a new "supermarket"

1982 sees the "birth" of Secura Labels in the small Leicestershire village of Packington. The Ident 4" Press used here is still in use today

Secura understands the necessity for embracing new technology and we offer the very latest in heat sensitive labelling and thermal printing. The applications for our new technology include Pharmaceuticals, Forensic Evidence, Food Labelling, Stock Control and Entertainment (security ticketing) etc. Please follow the links to the pages dealing with these subjects in detail.
