These are the second and third Orthotec semi-rotary offset presses at Papfin, one of the biggest wine and spirit Label converters in Moldova. The first CFT3536 was installed in 2014, including 4-color offset, rotary hot stamping, embossing and rotary die-cutting.

The second and third CFT3536 machines at Papfin are 6-color offset presses with cold stamping, rotary hot stamping, embossing and rotary die-cutting.

The inking and dampening system, and precise registration of the CFT3536, were contributing factors to Papfin’s decision to further invest in Orthotec, and give it capacity to export to other European countries’ wine and spirits label markets.

‘The excellent inking system and stability of high registration for different converting are the reason for PAPFIN to choose ORTHOTEC CFT3536 offset,’ commented Alex Yakovlev, director of Ppartner, the distributor of Orthotec machines in the region.

‘The Orthotec CFT3536 semi-rotary offset press is a very mature machine according to our two years of experience,’ said Philip Lykov, vice technical director at Papfin.

‘We have been with Orthotec machines for more than 10 years. We are glad to see the continued development of Orthotec machines to meet our need to be more competitive in quality and efficiency in modern label market.’

‘To have all converting and printing in one line, and very easy-to-use operation, has increased Papfin’s production efficiency, and allowed it to be more competitive to further expand its wine and spirit label market in European countries,’ said Mr. John Huang, Orthotec director.
