Etirama launches FIT modular flexo press

At an Open House event in October at Etirama’s factory in Sorocaba outside Sao Paulo, the company welcomed 320 visitors to see three units of the press in full operation, printing beer, wine and vodka labels.

Converters from Brazil, Argentina, Paraguay, Colombia, Spain, Portugal and Russia were in attendance.

According to sales director Ronnie Schröter, the press’s early reception in the market has been ‘phenomenal’, with 22 units sold within just 45 days of its launch. ‘The Etirama FIT is a press of international quality with perhaps the best price in the world market,’ he told Labels & Labeling.

The press can feature up to eight colors and has a maximum web width of 250mm. Printing at up to 100m/min, it features UV curing, automatic tension control, cold stamping and delam/relam.

Also present at the open house were supplier partners Arconvert, Cartes, BST, Crown, UV Tech, Zenite, Yesbom, Alpha Cliches, Metalflexo, Laserflex, Open Brazil and Nathalgraf.
