“This innovative printing platform results from years of careful development and collaboration between these industry leaders. With the demand for integrated digital printing and embellishment solutions on the rise, Screen and Nilpeter have created a flexible platform that allows businesses to create unique end-to-end label printing solutions that can set them apart in the market,” said Alan Baretto of Nilpeter India.
This partnership aims to address the label and packaging industry's urgent requirement for stable and high-quality combination printing, while also enhancing production efficiency and creativity. Screen, the developer of Truepress Label 350UV SAI technology, has integrated its expertise with Nilpeter's FA-Line flexo platform, which is renowned for its unmatched versatility and performance.
With its range of features and modular design, this platform can effortlessly adapt to the ever-changing needs of the label and packaging industry. “Whether you need to produce intricate, high-end labels with vivid graphics or large volume runs with accuracy and consistency, this solution offers unparalleled flexibility. It can accommodate a wide variety of embellishment options, including UV flexo, cold foil, hot foil, and lamination, giving businesses the versatility to meet diverse customer demands,” Baretto explained.

On the Nilpeter stand were two presses running live – FA-26 and FA-17, two machines, which Baretto said, are perfect for short-run flexible packaging and labels. “The FA-26 is a game-changer in the industry thanks to its incredible inline printing capabilities, which can be used in various applications. With a sturdy build and cutting-edge features, this machine guarantees high-quality prints at any speed.”
Additionally, the FA-17 was fitted with a high-build inkjet digital varnish bar. “It’s a unique replacement for traditional high-build spot varnish and doming. Compared to traditional methods, it is extremely easy to use, cost-efficient and time-saving. The unit can be retrofitted at any point on any Nilpeter presses.
