The cooperation with Omet started at the beginning of 2017 with the installation of a 10-color XFlex X5, dedicated to the production of labels as well as flexible packaging and folding cartons. In addition to this purchase, it has added a further XFlex, with six colors, and a 4-color iFlex.

Based in La Coruña, Coreti was founded in 1991 by Luis Fernández Vilela. It is now a company dedicated to the production of adhesive labels. The company has gone through big growth and expansion in the last few years, which has made it one of the top 10 label printers of Spain.

Its facility in Poligono de Bergondo, covering 7000sqm and including 4500sqm of factory space and over 1000sqm dedicated to offices on three floors, was recently renewed. Coreti CEO Celso González commented: ‘This larger infrastructure has allowed us to expand our production capacity and to support Coreti’s expansion and growth in the last few years. We can rely on a wide commercial network that includes Spanish territory as well as a part of Portugal, even if our labels go much farther. We have started to export our labels to other countries, but we are already present in every country thanks to the growth and the expansion of our customers. As we grow with them, our labels always accompany their products everywhere.’

Coreti produces labels for different sectors, especially for wine, beer, oil bottles and gourmet products, as well as industrial activities such as food, logistics and distribution. ‘We print our labels using all the printing technologies existing on the market,’ noted González. ‘We have digital, offset, flexographic and silkscreen printing press. Furthermore, we try to constantly innovate the materials and finishing in order to make our labels stand out on the market.

‘The technologies at our disposal allow us to offer a wide range of solutions to our current and potential clients, including silkscreen, glitter, hot stamping, varnishing, embossing, special die-cuts, variable data, backside printing, booklet labels and others. Thanks to our constant commitment, Coreti has become the reference in the production of labels for wine, beer and oil sectors, in which we grow in volume, year after year.’

González continued: ‘We believe that our strength is the constant commitment that we dedicate to satisfy the customer in all his orders, with quality, consistency and good service. In fact, we consider that all of our values benefit both our clients and ourselves. We inform, suggest and help solve problems, because we are not only a label producer. We try to get to know our customers and their products, in order to help them with the best dedicated suggestions.

‘Omet presses stand out for their robustness and precision, as well as flexibility that allows personalizing of the configuration according to the user’s necessities. The XFlex X5 is an ergonomic printing system that does not require any direct intervention of the operator, thanks to the Vision 1 system for automatic register adjustment and control. You can work with different materials, both rigid and flexibles, and maintain a basic configuration. It also permits the use of both UV and water-based ink, if the press is equipped with a combined drying system with hot air and UV cassettes.

‘This press integrates a chill drum on every print unit, which prevents the heat from affecting the substrate, a crucial detail if you work with films or plastic materials. The in-line integration of a silkscreen printing unit, cold foil, web turn bars and print-on-adhesive, significantly reduce waste levels, set-up times and run-to-register.

‘With Omet presses, we can make peel and seal jobs quickly and easily, and had the opportunity to integrate silkscreen printing technology, so being able to produce labels that require up to 10 colors, one of which printed with silkscreen.

‘The service has always provided fast and clear support to the few problems we have had until now.’
