Testimonials
“We spent a considerable amount of time researching which finishing equipment would be the best solution for finishing our wide variety of substrates, not only was it important that the equipment was good, it was imperative that we chose a manufacturer that we could rely on and trust. From our initial enquiry right through to machine delivery and installations we have found BGM to be a very professional team to work with.
Our new finishing machines are delivering more than we could ever wish for.”
Dorota Stanczyk-Racinowska
Operations Manager of Amberley Labels
“When we needed to increase our label finishing capacity and capabilities, we specifically looked around the market for a British-based manufacturer that could provide the machine quality, performance and local service we were looking for. The team at Bar Graphic stood out. They adapted the machines to our specific needs, and we have no complaints about their speed and efficiency.
“We knew that by investing locally, we would secure more reliability for parts and service, and this has certainly served us well over the past few difficult months and years. BGM has been a fantastic partner to us – we’ve been really pleased with the relationship. Their responsiveness and reliability are second to none.”
David Gregory
Joint Owner and Director of Advance Labels
“We bought our first Elite 370 DTR machine from Bar Graphic a few years ago, this was a servo machine with over lamination capabilities, it’s been outstanding – we did have a fault with the control panel after a few months of use, however an engineer was sent the very next day and the unit was replaced under their no quibble guarantee – excellent service.
When looking for additional die cutting / finishing systems we had no hesitation in buying from Bar Graphic again and now run three DTR machines. The machines are very well engineered and easy to operate, representing excellent value for money. Having manufactured labels now for over 27 years we have dealt with many manufactures of equipment and put Bar Graphic amongst the most professional; it’s also very refreshing dealing with real people who have a passion for what they do”.

Managing Director of Excel Labels
“Against a backdrop of political and economic uncertainty in 2018 -2019, we embarked on our biggest single project to date. We planned to invest £1 million in machinery, infrastructure and people.
The decision to go back to Bar Graphic was made very easily.
Since our very first Bar Graphic purchase the machines have been absolutely faultless. Reliability has been impeccable and this in itself assured us of the quality and high standards BGM is able to offer.”
Karl Jackson
Production Director of Kingfisher Labels Ltd
“It was back in 2015 that we first purchased a BGM high speed die cutting slitter-rewinder, to help meet increasing demand for plain labels in very high volumes.
Since then, that first BGM machine has not stopped producing and now, less than 4 years later and with the orders continuing to roll in, Labelaid has invested in a total of 7 BGM machines.
The reliability, quality and sheer productivity of these Bar Graphic machines is outstanding.”
Adrian Gough
Managing Director of Labelaid
“The reason Label-form went with BGM in the end was not only were they competitive on price but the unit was designed and built in the UK.
I can’t fault the professionalism of BGM staff. From enquiry to final installation, we were kept up-to-date on a weekly basis. From order to installation was just 6 weeks.
Well done BGM – keep up the good work.”
Stewart Serls
Commercial Director of Label-form
“A relentless focus on printing technology innovation has been the bedrock of our success for over 40 years now, and we remain as committed as ever to profitable growth through investing in world class technologies. “Our clients’ ever more exotic ambitions mean that we must print with an endless list of substrates, which in turn means that our finishing capabilities must be equally competent, BGM’s machines produce a perfect profile every time.”
“The people at Bar Graphics are very much part of the OPM team, and that shows not only in the way they understand, and respond to, our technical challenges but also in how they respond on the rare occasions when there’s a problem.”
Chris Ellison
Managing Director of OPM
“As one of the largest packaging companies of its kind in the UK and one of the fastest-growing, it is imperative that the converting & finishing equipment we use in this demanding market enables maximum productivity”.
“As a dedicated labels and flexibles manufacturer it is essential that we meet our customers’ exacting demands and BGM help us do exactly that, thanks to their service, backup and technical expertise. From the very first installation, to the most recent one, the reliability of BGM machines has been exceptional.”
Ian Kendall
Managing Director of Reflex
“There are a number of reasons we really like Bar Graphic machines. First, the equipment they produce is well-engineered and reliable – this is key to our business. They also adapted one of the iSRs to help us with our pharmaceutical security printing work. They incorporated an inkjet head into the machine, which then enabled us to keep our printing speeds up in the main press shop. This was incredibly useful.
“Then, obviously, they are British made and we feel good about that. We also really like the fact the machines operate from a simple 13amp 230V plug. They are highly energy efficient, which is particularly useful in today’s inflationary market, and we have no need for an electrician on site. It really is ‘plug-n-play’ technology. They also have a small footprint, which is useful when we’re busy and get a bit space constrained.”
Jon Bird
Managing Director of Daymark
“Working with the team at BGM was a great experience. We invested in a BGM Elite iSR 410 in 2022 and haven’t looked back. With a smooth installation and good support on the technical side, we’ve got a compact, energy-efficient and cost-effective machine that really delivers.
“At Lemur, we manufacture a wide range of custom labels from simple one- and two-colour to full-colour labels for the health, beauty and drinks markets. We needed a slitter rewinder with label inspection capability and the iSR was recommended. It’s a high-spec machine that runs up to 300m per minute, which is really helping us from an efficiency perspective. I would certainly invest again should the need arise. Great innovation, great technology and great support.”
Alex Hurford
Director of Lemur Labels

THE LCD display screen makes operator use very easy and the downtime between jobs is kept to a minimum. The easy change from 12.7mm to 45mm or 76mm spindles is quick and easy. Bar Graphics service from our initial meeting in Bradford to its installation in Sudbury was exceptional and I would certainly buy from them again.”
