Danish press manufacturer Nilpeter has hosted a virtual demonstration and training session for 42 employees of UPM Raflatac, providing insights to various print processes.
Set up by UPM Raflatac technical support manager Michael Drasch and Nilpeter area sales manager Dan Wissing, the joint session covered Nilpeter’s portfolio in great details, and covered topics from substrate capabilities to special equipment. This included digital, flexo and offset printing.
The Zoom-based session is the latest result of a close, mutually beneficial relationship between the two companies.
Mr Wissing said, ‘Covid-19 has no doubt put strain on our flexibility when arranging demonstrations and training sessions for our customers and business partners, but since March 2020, we have been conducting a lot of online demos.
‘We were contacted by Michael Drasch, who asked if we could arrange an online training session for his team, with the purpose of going through narrow web offset, flexo and digital printing technologies, and in-depth details about value-adding printing methods.
‘The session had several participants from different locations across Europe, and although UPM’s technicians and employees were not able to get their hands on the equipment, the online demonstrations still gave us the opportunity to show our solutions to the technical team, building their skills to support our common customers as best as they can.’
Mr Drasch added, ‘This virtual training session gave us at UPM Raflatac a new insight into the technological opportunities in printing and converting. There is a true value in the collaboration that we have built together with Dan Wissing on sharing knowledge of choosing the correct self-adhesive label material, and optimum printing and converting.’
