Etirama hosts factory tour

On August 27 Brazilian press manufacturer Etirama opened its doors to a tour by a group of label converters. The event was timed to coincide with local trade show Label Latinoamerica, which the company used to promote its new manufacturing deal with Nilpeter.

Under the terms of the deal, Etirama has begun manufacturing a Nilpeter-designed flexo press, the FBR 3300, at its facility in Sorocaba, located just outside Sao Paulo. Etirama will not sell the machine, however; that is left to the Danish manufacturer’s local subsidiary Nilpeter do Brasil.

The FBR 3300 press runs at 150m/min with a print width of 350mm, and features an individual drying system, cold foil, UV lamination and automated voltage control.
