Why settle for limitations when you can unleash the full power of Flexo? At Nilpeter, we’re not just reimagining Flexo—we’re proving it’s the superior choice for businesses demanding versatility, efficiency, and scalability. Flexo isn’t a relic of the past; it’s the future of print, delivering unmatched quality and value. While others chase trends, we engineer solutions that last decades.
Why follow the crowd when you can lead with Nilpeter? The future is here, and it’s Flexo.
At Nilpeter we envision a future, where short, medium and long run printing are based on an innovative flexographic platform.
The future of the label and flexible packaging market
- The self-adhesive label market is estimated to grow from $47.9bn in 2021 to $62.3bn in 2026.
- The flexible packaging market is estimated to grow from $285bn in 2021 to $360bn in 2026.
- The self-adhesive label and flexible packaging industry is expected to grow more than CAGR 5% over the next five years.
Facing the Future: The top challenges confronting today’s modern converter
- Short turnaround times Converters must optimise workflows and reduce downtime without compromising quality to meet brand owner demand for faster delivery times.
- Economic pressures Rising costs in labour, materials, and energy are impacting profit margins, especially for commercial printers, making efficiency a primary focus.
- Balancing efficiency and quality While customer demands must be met, focusing solely on efficiency can lead to quality issues, while only prioritising quality can result in higher costs and delays.
- Adapting to new materials and substrates Converters must have the skills and capabilities to met unique print requests, stay flexible, adjusting processes and equipment quickly and efficiently.
- Fewer skilled operators With an increasing need for specialised skills and fewer qualified professionals in the market, businesses are struggling to build an effective workforce.
- Environmental footprint Converters must reduce their footprint through more sustainable practices, including better energy efficiency, resource management, less waste, etc.
The vision rests upon five fundamental pillars:
- Design Versatility: Automated flexo solutions offer flexible, modular systems that streamline workflows and boost efficiency. Integrated processes and cloud-supported technologies ensure consistent performance and easy maintenance. Flexo’s versatility accommodates various packaging types and substrates, enabling businesses to meet customer demands, enhance quality, and improve competitiveness in the printing industry.
- Digitalisation of Flexo: Digitalisation of flexo machines streamlines processes, improves efficiency, and enhances production quality through automation, data-driven precision, and real-time optimization. It enables virtual setups with digital shadows, reducing downtime and improving readiness. With expanded color options and integration features, digitalized flexo boosts creativity, productivity, and adaptability for future market demands.
- Return on Investment: Next-generation flexo solutions offer superior ROI compared to digital alternatives, excelling in medium- to high-volume tasks with reusable printing plates that reduce costs. With higher output, less waste, and long-lasting durability, flexo machines provide exceptional TCO, requiring minimal maintenance. Their flexibility and reliability ensure long-term value and scalability.
- Production Efficiency: Digitalized and automated flexo machines enhance production efficiency, surpassing digital printing in high-volume tasks with consistent, high-quality results. In-line processes reduce machine and operator needs, lowering costs and human error. Flexo solutions offer greater reliability, minimizing downtime and improving productivity, creating a streamlined, optimized, and cost-effective production environment.
- Sustainability: Automated flexo printing solutions offer significant sustainability benefits by reducing material waste, energy consumption, and machine stops, helping businesses meet environmental goals and comply with regulations. With fewer machines and lower risk of injury, they support safer workplaces. Their durability and long-term efficiency promote resource conservation, aligning with circular economy principles.
