Mr J. Varias, General Manager and grandchild of founder Gráficas Varias comments: “We are constantly testing many machine types and observing technologies world wide. It was obvious, after our recent series of testing that the MPS print quality is very good and it is very easy to achieve, furthermore it has an unbelievable high productivity. During the tests at MPS, we were using several materials including mono films. The change over times and material waste were beyond our expectations !”
RELIEVES EGARA
Relieves Egara, founded in 1947 and specialized mainly in cosmetics and pharma self-adhesives labels, purchased a MPS printing press. Their watchword is high presentation labels; use the principle that better defines each of your jobs, as the label is a value added product nowadays. With over 60 years manufacturing experience in self adhesive labels, Egara has become highly specialized and has created a large production capacity. Its premise is the satisfaction of its customers, therefore they invest a good part of the benefits into the latest generation machinery company. Recently Relieves Egara has purchased a MPS press. In this way they will be able to reach a market with up to 8 screen printing in the same label.
Mr Garmundi. General Director Relieves Egara comments: “We have decided for MPS, because we need the highest flexo print quality possible. Next to that we use very much combination printing with rotary screen. It is known that a MPS press delivers our required outstanding quality as well as productivity, whilst using combination printing flexo-screen.”
