The new Nilpeter FA-26 is a game-changer in short and long run flexible packaging printing. From pouches and sachets, to wrap-arounds, shrink sleenes, labels, and more.
Chromatic Labels has purchased a new 8-color Nilpeter FA-26 to improve response times and offer new solutions to existing and new customers. Additionally, the company has moved into a new 35,000 sq. ft. manufacturing facility.
The FA-26 is the latest and widest flexo press Nilpeter has ever developed. Designed to print with water-based and solvent inks, with UV, LED, and E-beam processes - in any combination, the FA-26 is a new press for short run flexible packaging.
The FA-26 is fully sleeve-based, both for anilox and plate rollers, with a closed ink chamber system. According to the company, this construction, combined with the new landscape design, ensures high-quality printing and unique production performance.
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.
