California-based K-1 Packaging Group has bought a 22 inch Nilpeter FA-6 press to accommodate its growing flexible packaging business.
The 22″ press offers printing on a broad range of multi-substrate packaging materials. This modular UV-flexo press provides super fast make-ready with its easy-load sleeve technology. With low waste and setup times reduced to seconds per unit, the FA-6 is very easy to operate.
Vice president of manufacturing, Eric Tsai, explained, ‘What we look for in a new press is technologies that can simplify setup, maintain product quality and consistency, and reduce waste. Of all the presses we considered, Nilpeter’s FA-6 best fits the bill.’
He added, ‘Nilpeter provided complete guidance, helping us to evaluate and understand the myriad of automation features and options the press offers. This consultative approach lends much confidence to our configuration of the equipment.’
The group designs and manufactures retail packaging materials, including pressure sensitive labels, flexible packaging, and folding cartons – distributed worldwide.
