SITE DETAILS
In business since 1938, Marburger Farm Dairy has provided high-quality and award-winning dairy milk, tea products, and dairy by-products to the Evans City, PA area. On average, they print 370,000 plastic bottles per month or 100,000 per day.
CHALLENGES
With the volume of the product requiring inkjet printing, Marburger Farm Dairy consistently ran into issues with recurring downtime, availability of replacement parts, and lack of print quality. In addition, repairing or addressing malfunctions associated with their five printers was costly.
