Danish label converter, Color Label, is one of the
leading Danish suppliers of self-adhesive labels for the food industry and the
chemical industry. The Aarhus-based company was established in 1980 by Erik
Grønning, who continues to be in the forefront of the company.
Since 1980. when Color Label was first established,
labels were printed on a Nilpeter press. Owner & CEO Erik Grønning
explains, ”Well it’s quite simple. Nilpeter is the Mercedes of label printing
presses, and we have never considered investing in anything else. At Color
Label it is essential that our equipment is highly reliable, as it is in our DNA
to always deliver on time”.
With the purchase of a newly refurbished FA-2500,
the total number of 250 mm wide presses is brought up to 8. “The latest
addition to our production floor is not considered a used press. The
refurbishment job done by Nilpeter UK Ltd. is remarkable. It is really as good
as new”, states Erik Grønning. He goes on to explain the rationale behind the
investment, “With Color Label’s production setup, it makes perfectly sense for
us to have an even number of presses. That way we eliminate the risk of
bottlenecks and we are fully flexible: All tasks can be run on all machines”.
The Color Label philosophy of twin presses allows them to use existing tooling,
and there is no new learning curve for the company printers.
In addition, Color Label has two Nilpeter FA-4200
sleeve-based servo presses. They are tailored to run a wide range of tasks
ranging from classic labels to film, flexible packaging, and carton. The
machines can print films down to 15 micron and cardboard up to 350 g.
