Truth from the Trenches

“How many vendors tell you they’re going to make you faster, better, and more profitable… and then do it? But that’s we’ve come to expect from Eagle Systems,” notes pressroom supervisor Gary Reyes for D’Andrea Graphic Communications, an Eagle customer since December 2013.

“We first installed our Eagle Cold Foil systems in June 2015 and it’s lived up to every promise made by Eagle President Mike King. We’ve learned to not only respect Mike but trust him. Eagle continues to prove that they’re indeed one manufacturer that cares enough to ensure we’re maximizing our capabilities and ROI with their system,” notes Operations Manager Stefan Congram, Glenmore Custom Print + Packaging.

“Four years ago Eagle President Mike King told us his machine would do everything he said it would do or our money back. That was what sealed the deal for us and he was true to his word. The Eagle system has been rock solid for our production department… We now view cold foil from a whole new perspective and anticipate even greater rewards for both Marrs and our customers,” adds Scott Marrs, Vice President, Marrs Printing and Packaging.
