Eclipse Packaging invests in a second Nilpeter

Based in Kingsville, Ontario, Canada, Eclipse Packaging has added 12-color Nilpeter FA-22 press to keep pace with increasing demand. 

Eclipse has built a strong reputation for delivering high-quality labels and flexible packaging. Following the successful installation of its first Nilpeter 17in 12-color press with advanced embellishment capabilities in Q3 2024, the company quickly established a solid platform for growth. The investment gave Eclipse the flexibility to take on demanding applications while building a business ready for the future. 

Less than two years later, that growth has exceeded expectations and Eclipse Packaging has now placed an order for a brand-new 12-color Nilpeter FA-22. Scheduled for delivery in the second half of 2026, the new press will add even greater productivity, flexibility and automation as the company continues to expand its production capabilities. 

As Eclipse Packaging prepares to move into its brand-new production facility, the FA-22 will arrive at exactly the right moment. Once installed, it will join the company's existing Nilpeter press, creating a production platform built to support the next phase of Eclipse's journey. The new FA-22 will become one of the centerpieces of the new facility, providing the capacity and flexibility to support the company's continued growth. 

‘When we installed our first Nilpeter press in 2024, we knew we had invested in a platform we could build our business around,’ said Keith Pickard, owner and president of Eclipse Packaging. ‘The performance, reliability and support we've experienced gave us the confidence to invest in a second Nilpeter. As we move into our new facility, the FA-22 will play a key role in helping us continue our growth and serve our customers even better.’ 

‘Watching a company like Eclipse Packaging grow this quickly is exactly why we do what we do,’ said John Crammer, sales consultant at Nilpeter USA. ‘Keith and his team have built something special, and it's been a pleasure to support that journey. The fact that Eclipse is already investing in a second Nilpeter is the strongest endorsement we could ask for. We're excited to deliver the new 12-color FA-22 later this year and see both presses running side by side in their impressive new facility.’
