Three young entrepreneurs in Singapore founded Orient Quality Print in 2011 to create a letterpress label printing business. They grew steadily by investing in new equipment. In 2012, they recognized increasing price pressure and the need for variable data printing capabilities. After benchmarking different digital printing systems, they purchased a Xeikon 3030 press for its ability to print on various substrates and provide consistent, high-quality color. Today, Orient is recognized as a leading label printer in Singapore and one of Xeikon's top customers in the region.
