K-1 Packaging Group Invests in Nilpeter Flexo Press

California-based K-1 Packaging Group has added a  22” Nilpeter FA-6 press to meet the company’s growing flexible packaging business. K-1 designs and manufactures retail packaging materials, including pressure sensitive labels, flexible packaging, and folding cartons for worldwide distribution.

K-1 relies on flexography, offset, and screen printing to serve cosmetics/beauty, nutritional supplement, medical, and food markets. The 22” FA-6 offers printing on a broad range of multi-substrate packaging materials. The modular UV-flexo press provides fast make-ready with its easy-load sleeve technology.

According to Vice President of Manufacturing Eric Tsai, "What we look for in a new press is technologies that can simplify setup, maintain product quality and consistency, and reduce waste. Nilpeter provided complete guidance, helping us to evaluate and understand the myriad of automation features and options the press offers. This consultative approach lends much confidence to our configuration of the equipment. And, with low waste and setup times reduced to seconds per unit, the FA-6 is very easy to operate."
