Webtech Labels installs Nuova Gidue duo

The latest investment in a Combat M3 and M5 Digital Flexo has made it one of the largest users of Nuova Gidue technology, with seven presses. The recent investment continues Webtech Labels’ association with Nuova Gidue, which began in 2008.  

The Combat M3 is a fully servo press, that has been bought with a configuration of a 370mm web width, and eight-colors with driven chilled roll. It can handle self-adhesive labels, 15µm unsupported PET, 20µm BOPP, 3 µm BOPP for mineral water, all shrink-sleeves and up to 350gsm carton.

The M5 Digital Flexo 3.0 press purchased by Webtech Labels is equipped with 10 UV flexo print units and Print Tutor on each print unit. The machine set-up is fully automated, print quality is monitored and adjusted at any manufacturing speed across a full range of substrates.

Amar B. Chhajed, managing director of Webtech Labels, said: ‘The idea of going for the high-end Nuova Gidue presses was to produce very high quality labels for the cosmetics and consumer goods.

‘With the introduction of M3 and M5 presses, we are achieving higher results in productivity and set-up operations. It allows us to print with reduced waste, at speeds we could not achieve before. Print and register quality have also increased and we can match the HD Flexo standards.’

Cristina Toffolo, vice-president of marketing of Nuova Gidue, added: ‘We are very proud to partner with Webtech Labels and for their continuous trust in our brand. This confirmation of trust is a further proof that we are going in the right direction.’
