Label expert launches print consultancy in the UK

With decades of experience in labels and packaging, Steve Lakin has launched PrintPath Consulting Limited into the UK market. Focused on the narrow- to mid-web segments, the consultancy will provide expert, independent advice to help label and flexible packaging printers maximise their investments and remain competitive in an increasingly challenging environment.

PrintPath Consulting is dedicated to supporting small to medium-sized printing businesses by offering strategic guidance across equipment selection, workflow optimisation, supplier engagement, and long-term planning.

Commenting on the launch, Steve Lakin said: “I’m excited to introduce PrintPath Consulting and to bring my experience to the market in a new way. Small to medium-sized printers are facing a growing number of challenges, from rising costs and skills shortages to rapid technological change, all of which can make forward planning difficult and time-consuming. My aim with PrintPath is to help businesses cut through the complexity, make informed decisions, and invest with confidence.”

The company will work closely with a number of leading industry suppliers, while maintaining an independent and customer-focused approach. Several strategic collaborations are set to be announced shortly.
