Al Nakheel invests in 8-color FlexiCon press

Al Nakheel Printing Press in the United Arab Emirates has installed an 8-color FlexiCon series flexographic printing press equipped with an in-mold label conveyor from Hontec.

The servo-driven flexo line integrates precision color control, in-line IML printing and substrate adaptability. The press enables Al Nakheel to produce high-quality, durable and visually striking IML labels for the region's packaging sector.

The investment strengthens Al Nakheel's production capabilities as demand for in-mold labels grows across the Gulf market. The new press will allow the converter to serve customers in the fast-growing packaging industry with enhanced automation and print performance.

Hontec has been expanding its footprint in the Middle East, providing flexo and label-finishing technology backed by local service and technical support.

'Our partnership with Al Nakheel Printing Press represents another milestone in bringing Hontec's innovative printing technology to leading converters in the UAE,' a Hontec representative commented. 'This installation underscores our commitment to supporting customers with cutting-edge automation and superior print performance.'
