The Nilpeter FA-4*10-colour servo press
California-based The Label Shoppe will be one of the first label producers in North America to use Nilpeter’s FA-4* press in combination with its clean-hand technology, dot-to-dot (D2D) registry system, and complete automation.
As the in-plant printing division of Gaytan Foods, The Label Shoppe has made the investment to facilitate growth and allow the next generation of the Gaytan family to continue to serve the region with high quality products.
‘Due to our nearly 100% growth in two years, in February 2016 we saw the need to add a modern flexo press,’ said Ryan Gaytan, vice president of The Label Shoppe. ‘This new machine needed to offer automated short-run capabilities, long run stability, and impeccable register and impression control. It also needed to comfortably handle a 450 mm web without stepping up to the 500 mm+ size category.
‘Our team was particularly impressed with the value-adding units and options available on the FA-4*’, Mr Gaytan added. ‘With one machine, we can easily run short runs, long runs, high-end wine and spirit labels, ECLs, and critical register jobs that would previously only be possible on web offset or digital presses.’
