JPatton installs HP Indigo 6K to enhance secure printing and brand protection

GEORGIA – JPatton, a leader in brand authentication and secure printing, has upgraded its capabilities with the installation of the HP Indigo 6K Secure Press at its production facility in Duluth, Georgia.

The move strengthens the company’s position as a trusted partner for global brands seeking advanced, high-assurance security solutions.

The HP Indigo 6K Secure Press brings to JPatton a powerful suite of features tailored for secure, flexible, and sustainable production.

By enabling multi-layered security applications, such as microtext, invisible inks, and serialized tracking, in a single-pass workflow, the press significantly enhances efficiency, accuracy, and speed.

“This press is years ahead of the competition,” said Pete Reyes, Vice President and Managing Director at JPatton.

“We’ve spent decades developing security tools for trading cards and major brands like Colgate, Keebler, Coors Brewing, and Microsoft.

“The HP Indigo 6K Secure Press fits perfectly into our strategy to offer flexible, high-performance security solutions that protect both reputations and consumers.”

JPatton’s latest investment responds to growing global demand for authentication tools in highly regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, alcohol, and tobacco.

With its new press, the company can now meet the stringent requirements for secure print applications like tax stamps, track-and-trace labels, and tamper-evident packaging, while maintaining exceptional quality and brand aesthetics.

In addition to its technical performance, the HP Indigo 6K Secure Press also supports JPatton’s sustainability goals. Engineered with a zero-carbon footprint, the press aligns with the company’s commitment to achieving net-zero waste across its operations by 2030.

“Sustainability and security go hand in hand,” Reyes added. “This press not only improves our production agility and capability but also helps us move closer to our environmental targets.”

Raffael Kraus, HP Indigo Labels Sales Director, said the partnership represents a significant milestone for the industry.

“We’re proud to support JPatton as they scale their secure print capabilities. With the Indigo 6K Secure Press, they’re delivering cutting-edge tools to combat counterfeiting, protect brand value, and lead the industry toward a more secure and sustainable future.”

JPatton’s installation is part of a wider trend in the printing and packaging sector, where demand for digital, secure, and eco-conscious solutions is accelerating, especially as global brands seek to safeguard their products in an increasingly complex marketplace.
