What Downtime Actually Costs
Every Hour Your Line Sits Idle Is Money That Doesn't Come Back
$3K, $15K Per Hour Lost
Mid-size F&B and pharma lines lose $3,000, $15,000 in production per hour of unplanned downtime. The math justifies a service plan in a single avoided incident.
Out-of-State Service = Days, Not Hours
If your printer vendor flies a tech in from out of state, you're looking at 2, 4 days. We respond from inside the Southeast, usually next business day.
Tier-1 Support Wastes Your Day
Generic call centers route you through scripts. Our phone is answered by an engineer who has serviced your exact machine model, not a script-reader.
Equipment We Service
The Machines Already on Your Floor
If it's an industry-standard coder, marker, or inspection system, we service it. Below: a sample of equipment our team works on every week.

How a Service Plan Starts
Three Steps from Call to Coverage
01
We map your equipment
30-minute call. We list every coder, inspection system, and labeler on your lines, with model numbers, install dates, and current state.
02
You get a custom plan & price
Within 48 hours: a written plan with line-by-line coverage, response SLA, preventive cadence, and flat monthly cost.
03
We onboard in one site visit
Initial visit baselines every covered machine, stages your spare parts kit, and trains operators on first-line fixes.
Our Promise
The Uptime Standard
If we miss our next-business-day response SLA on a covered machine, that month of service is free. If we miss it twice in any rolling 12 months, you can cancel penalty-free and we'll refund the unused portion. Your line, your terms.
