Fourteen high-speed flexo presses line our pressroom and have the capability to print label from blanks up to 14 colors. In addition to being able to to print up to fourteen colors this press allows us to print IRC coupons (instant redeemable coupons). It also allows us to brink booklet type label coupons, which are often used to give the customer cooking instructions. We have two presses that can print on both unsupported film and pressure sensitive label stock. Our newest press the Nilipeter F-Line supports any combination of flexo, UV-flexo, rotary screen and foil stamping while giving you high-quality performance and top of the line results. Several of our presses use UV-Flexo printing to convert labels and film. This produces a label for application where chemical and water resistance is critical. Mepco also prints using a continuous-feed, high speed, 13” press that completes finished rolls with a 25% savings in finished product time. |
