Nilpeter client to host Open House in Colombia

Impresos & Acabados is a folding carton and label manufacturer that produces work mainly for the pharmaceutical industry. In 2010, the converter looked to produce booklet labels at the request of a key client, and to find growth beyond its sheet-fed offset business. 

To meet its diversification needs, it partnered with Nilpeter and purchased an eight-color FB3300S specially designed for four-ply label construction. The press is equipped with hot air dryers, four UV lamps, a double in-feed system, corona treater and suction web cleaner.

The company has found great success with its partnership and investment. Today, coupon labels represent the majority of the converter’s flexo business, as well as wrap-around carton labels for yogurts. Andigraf awarded Impresos & Acabados with the 2013 Best of Flexography Labels award for its 14-point carton stock label for Gloria yogurt, a Peruvian dairy brand. 

The business is now further expanding into other material conversion. With the support of Avery Dennison, Impresos & Acabados is producing polypropylene, one directional film to effectively wrap around a squeeze tube container for cosmetics, health and nutraceutical products. 

Fernando Herrera, Impresos & Acabados general manager, said: ‘We are more than pleased with the Nilpeter press and the support that they have provided us in making the transition into flexographic printing and multi-ply labels. We’re excited to invite regional converters to our facility to see what the machine is capable of producing.’
