Scottish CV Labels has added another Nilpeter press to its printing lineup. The new FB-350 is the latest add-on and expands the company’s Nilpeter presses to a total of three.

Having worked with pharmaceutical, medical, and healthcare labeling solutions for more than 30 years, CV Label strives to meet the high standards of its customers. The FB-350 is an ideal choice for CV Labels, as the press is specialized for printing pressure sensitive labels for pharmaceutical and medical products.

The new unit is a 7-color flexo press with a number of value-added features customized for CV Labels. One of the features is an inserter making it possible to create multi-page peel and read labels using different substrates. The FB-350 with this exact configuration, is the first of its kind on an FB-press in the UK.

“We have always been very pleased with the Nilpeter presses we have had, so for us it was an obvious choice to add another one to our production line,” explains Bob Veitch, owner and managing director at CV Labels. “Our business is growing, and we needed more volume and more colors. We got that with our new FB-350. The new press gives us a number of new opportunities, and especially making it possible to create multi-page peel and read labels has been a valuable contribution.”

Some of the value-added features of the FB-350 for CV Labels are UV curing, the latest version rail system and rail-based auxiliaries, de/re-lamination, a turnbar, re-register unit for preprinted webs, video inspection, and standard die stations.

Nick Hughes, managing director at Nilpeter, adds, “I have known Bob for ages, and we have always had a great partnership. It’s always nice to see that our customers’ business is growing, and we are very happy to help them find the right solution in order for them to meet the constantly increasing demands of their customers. We managed to do it this time, and I am confident we will continue to do it in the future as well”.

The partnership between CV Labels and Nilpeter dates all the way back to 1983 when Veitch visited Copenhagen, Denmark, to test a Nilpeter B-200 letterpress. Veitch, who at this time worked at another company, experienced positive results.

“Honestly, I was blown away by what I saw in Denmark. The advanced technology was revolutionary compared to everything else. I consider Nilpeter as one of the top manufacturers in the world, and it matches the ambitions of CV Labels – we only want to deal with the best.”
