Etygraf has been producing self-adhesive labels for the wine, cosmetic, medical and food label industries for more than three decades.

It made its first investment in Nuova Gidue technology in 2004 with an S-Combat 280, followed by a Combat M1 model in 2012.

Its third Nuova Gidue press is an entry-level Combat MX, which has been installed with a fixed configuration: 370mm-wide, eight flexographic print units, eight UV lamps, a die-cutting station, cold foil capability and a full set of printing tools.

Fermìn Baldovì, Etygraf managing director, said: ‘By installing this new technology we have made a great jump in terms of quality.

‘We are sure that with this new investment we will face and fulfill the new market demand.’
