Etik Basim Expands Label Production with Durst Tau 340 RSC E
Etik Basim A.Ş., one of Turkey’s leading label manufacturers, has strengthened its digital production capabilities with the installation of the Durst Tau 340 RSC E digital label press. The investment supports the company’s strategy to increase production flexibility, improve efficiency, and respond to the growing demand for medium & shorter runs, faster turnaround times, and greater product customization.
Founded in 2009 under the www.urunetiketi.com brand, Etik Basim has established itself as a trusted supplier of high-quality label solutions for a wide range of industries, including food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, automotive, chemicals, retail, plastics, and textiles.
Following a comprehensive evaluation of available digital printing technologies, the company selected the Durst Tau 340 RSC E for its exceptional print quality, production reliability, operational efficiency, and future-ready architecture. Combining industrial productivity with outstanding image quality, the press provides a cost-effective solution that supports Etik Basım’s continued growth while expanding its digital label production capabilities.
The press delivers a native resolution of 1200 × 1200 dpi, producing crisp text, smooth gradients, and vibrant colours across a wide range of applications. Its CMYK + White configuration provides high-opacity white printing on transparent, metallic, and coloured substrates, enabling converters to expand their product offering while maintaining premium print quality.
Equipped with Durst’s proven inkjet technology, the Tau 340 RSC E is designed to optimise ink consumption and reduce production costs without compromising image quality. High system reliability, minimal operator intervention, and reduced waste contribute to greater overall production efficiency and lower total cost of ownership.
An additional advantage of the platform is its modular architecture, allowing future technological upgrades as production requirements evolve like, speed upgrade to 80meters/min, fully automatic registration with the ARC system or AI upgrade with Hawk AI. This protects the investment over the long term while giving users the flexibility to adapt to changing market demands.
With the addition of the Durst Tau 340 RSC E, Etik Basim is well positioned to increase productivity, improve turnaround times, strengthen its capabilities in variable data printing, and broaden its portfolio of digital label applications. The investment also reinforces the company’s commitment to innovation and continuous improvement, ensuring it remains competitive in a rapidly evolving market.
LinoSistem, Durst’s distribution partner in the region, supported the project from system selection through installation and commissioning. The successful completion of the investment highlights the continuing demand for advanced digital label production technologies and demonstrates the growing role of industrial inkjet solutions in the development of Turkey’s label printing industry.
