International Graphics Supplies has received JWEI’s European Distributor of the Year 2025 award, after what the company describes as “a record-breaking year”
International Graphics Supplies (IGS) has received the European Distributor of the Year 2025 award, which was presented by cutting technology manufacturer, JWEI.
The award was presented to IGS for its sales performance and technical support of cutting solutions in 2025, most notably the Titanium 330 reel-to-reel label cutter.
The accolade follows a range of installations of the Titanium 330-R digital label finisher, including installations at Bluetree Group and The Sticker Shop, both of which selected the Titanium 330-R to enhance web-to-print production capabilities.
IGS labels the JWEI 330 series as the “benchmark for converters seeking precision and automation.” By eliminating the need for traditional dies, the Titanium 330-R is designed to offer more rapid turnaround times on complex shapes, making it effective for the growing ‘labels-on-demand’ market.
Speaking about the award, Peter Flynn, managing director at IGS, says: “Receiving this award from JWEI is a testament to our team's deep understanding of the label market and our commitment to supporting our customers' growth.
"Seeing industry leaders like Bluetree bolster its massive production facility with two Titanium 330-R installs for seamless, roll-to-roll digital finishing at scale, and The Sticker Shop integrate the Titanium 330-R and Titanium 0806-R into its workflows to increase throughput, validates the impact of this technology in the on-demand label sector."
Flynn vows that, while 2025 was “a record-breaking year” for IGS, the company isn’t standing still, with a number of new kit releases on the horizon.
IGS will launch the latest solution in the Titanium line, the Titanium IL-330, at the upcoming Packaging Innovations & Empack exhibition, which takes place at the NEC Birmingham on February 11th and 12th. IGS will present the new solution alongside a full range of its machinery offerings at Stand B66 of the trade show.
Describing the new Titanium IL-330, Flynn adds: “With a 35% increase in throughput, this machine is specifically engineered to help converters stay ahead of rising demand and eliminate the bottleneck between printing and shipping.
“We are already seeing immediate interest, with the first unit scheduled for installation with a major web-to-print specialist which already relies on our Titanium flatbed range."
