Master Label, a printing company in Indonesia, has acquired a 22’’ Nilpeter FA-Line with 12 UV-flexo printing units, gravure, and cold foil. This is the largest Nilpeter flexo press installed in Indonesia.

The 22’’ Nilpeter FA-Line was delivered to Master Label at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, making this a very challenging installation. Nevertheless, the respective teams worked tirelessly to complete the task, adhering to all social distancing guidelines.

Like Nilpeter, Master Label is a family-owned company with more than 30 years of experience in the industry. A trusted label consultant to numerous local and international premium brands and start-ups, Master Label supplies health and beauty labels for all high-end brand owners in the region, in addition to labels and flexible packaging products in food and beverage, household care, pharmaceuticals, special chemicals, specialty and smart packaging. 

The modular, multi-substrate 22’’ FA-Line provides a high level of stability, tight register tolerance and excellent printing results. All normal self-adhesive materials, including flexible packaging films, polymer films, metallic films, and paper, are accommodated by the press. Furthermore, the FA-Line’s open frame provides easy access for quick job setups and changeovers.

“Nilpeter and the new FA-Line is the ideal choice for us to further cement our position as Indonesia’s premier printing company. We look forward to a long and rewarding partnership with Nilpeter concerning printing presses, consumables, and ancillary equipment,” says Dharmadi Bongso, owner of Master Label. “The new investment will take Master Label to a new level through higher production efficiency and printing quality. The new FA-22 is configured to a degree where we can meet all demands from the market while also exploring new opportunities. Since installation, we’ve run shrink sleeves, PE-material, tobacco, and long-run label jobs, benefiting from the fast changeovers, easy setup, and extremely good material handling. The press has a technical specification, which enables us to cater to the label printing market as well as the flexible packaging market, which continues to grow in Indonesia.”

The order from Master Label is a direct result of Nilpeter’s intensified effort in Indonesia. Since the beginning of 2018, Nilpeter Asia Pacific has operated a sub-company from Jakarta, more precisely in the industrial area of Chikarang, with a team consisting of sales, administration, and technical staff.

”This is a credit to our commitment to the Indonesian market. Since our new office in Jakarta was established, we have been able to support the Indonesian Nilpeter users even better. We already have a 24/7-hotline service in place on all Nilpeter presses, but the physical presence is sometimes required. Delivering great service to our customers is really important to Nilpeter and our team in Jakarta is able to support all of Indonesia instantly,” says John Andersen, managing director, Nilpeter Asia Pacific. “Nilpeter and Master Label have been working together for years, but it is not until now that we have installed a Nilpeter press in this unique configuration in the Master Label Jakarta factory. We are really happy to see the partnership strengthen and look forward to support Master Label in the future. Needless to say, Master Label is strongly underlining their position as a leading printer in the region.”
