The investment in a Scodix Ultra 2500 SHD further enhances Citicom Print’s ability to deliver luxury print embellishments and reinforces its commitment to innovative technology and automation, enabling the company to thrive in the highly competitive commercial print industry.
Citicom Print is an award-winning U.S.-based commercial print company specialising in on-demand digital print, direct mail, labels and packaging, and signage.

From custom API workflows that streamline complex variable data for large direct mail projects to small business card orders, Citicom continues to position itself as a creative leader and one-stop shop for commercial print innovation.
The addition of the Scodix Ultra 2500 SHD includes Scodix’s latest MLE (multi layer enhancement) technology bringing a new level of sustainability to Citicom Print’s offerings by enabling digital embellishment on recycled and uncoated paper. This innovation allows customers to choose from a wide range of eco-friendly embellishment options that not only elevate the visual impact of their prints but also align with environmentally responsible practices.
Kevin Oakes, CEO and Owner of Citicom, commented on the decision, ‘The versatility of the Scodix Ultra 2500 SHD allows us to offer our customers premium, eco-friendly embellishments on both coated and uncoated paper – whether it’s metallics, foil, sculpted textures, or spot UV. With no minimums and no dies required, we can deliver endless creative possibilities while meeting the demand for sustainable print solutions.’
He further noted that the machine’s ability to produce short-run embellishments quickly and economically aligns perfectly with Citicom’s business model, allowing them to meet the growing demand for personalised, standout print materials.
Oakes added, ‘We believe the Scodix Ultra 2500 SHD will not only strengthen our relationships with existing clients but also attract new customers looking to differentiate their print materials. This expanded offering gives us a significant competitive advantage, and we expect it to boost revenue, profitability, and customer satisfaction.’
The installation process exceeded expectations, with the Scodix team ensuring a smooth and efficient setup and training experience. The press has already undergone its first successful upgrade, further solidifying the partnership between Citicom and Scodix.
Mark Nixon, EVP Global Sales, at Scodix, expressed his enthusiasm, ‘We’re thrilled when companies like Citicom Print choose Scodix for our broad range of embellishment capabilities after running thorough economic and productivity analyses. It’s a testament to our ability to not only elevate their product offerings but also improve their bottom line with premium sustainable and visually effective enhancements.’
