Western Shield Label Company has installed a new Nilpeter FA-17 at the company’s location in Los Angeles, California, to increase its production speed, capacity and diversify into the flexible packaging market.
‘This is our second Nilpeter press. We previously bought an FB-Line and were very pleased with the performance. The experience with the FB-Line and the Nilpeter team was a key factor in our ultimate decision to purchase the FA-17,’ said Dan Stadler, director of marketing of Western Shield Label Company.
‘The new FA-17 was installed in the spring of 2020. The logic behind the purchase was quite simply that the FA-Line has advanced technology that allows us to run faster and reduce waste. The additional width, this being our first 17in press in the Los Angeles facility, was a factor as well. Lastly, we are using the FA-Line’s capabilities as a means to enter the flexible packaging space,’ added Stadler.
