Trebnick Installs New FA-17 To Meet Increasing Demands for RFID
March 16, 2022Trebnick Systems is a long-time partner, having purchased their first
Nilpeter press in the 1990s, when they developed a non-tear tag for durable
markets that eliminated the need for laminated tags worldwide.
“I looked at all the presses that were popular at the time and Nilpeter had
the most durable product from my impression. I had no idea that the
registration and quality were also outstanding. Our first press is still
running perfectly,” says Gregg Trebnick, founder of Trebnick Systems,
Inc.
Tough Jobs Easily and Repeatedly
As a competitor once said to a Trebnick customer, “they do the tough
jobs easily and repeatedly”.
“When we got into the label and tag market, we were too late to get any easy
jobs. All the jobs we received were the jobs no one else wanted to
do – uncoated poly material with process printing, adhesives that would not
come off when applied outdoors in the middle of the winter, poly tags that
stretch through 99% of the presses on the market, etc. The challenging start,
however, is what gave us a leg up on the competition, and what positioned our
team in the expert category,” Linda Trebnick, President, adds.
Update Equipment to Handle Demands
“We already had the capability to apply RFID, but more and more of our
customers are asking for it, and we needed to update our equipment to be able
to handle those demands. As I mentioned, we already have Nilpeter presses and
wanted to stay with them, so we went to Nilpeter, and together with Tamarack
they came up with a press design for us that includes RFID-application and
integrated labels,” Linda Trebnick says.
“With Nilpeter just down the street from Trebnick, that naturally played a
big part in our decision, but they also have the most state-of-the-art press –
the FA-17. Nilpeter came in and helped us and always responded quickly to
our calls, when we were down or needed service. With a major outlay of capital,
we wanted the quickest response time, and Nilpeter has proven many times over
the years that they are always ready to respond,” Trebnick continues.
A Perfect Match for Trebnick
“Our first order on the press is a 750,000 feet long cast-and-cure hologram
label. Being long-run and unique, plus being sheeted, makes it a perfect
match for Trebnick to produce on our new press. We need the capacity to keep up
with our current growth, and with the add-on unit from Tamarack we will be
doing RFID, integrated labels, and high-quality colour work.”
“Now that the FA-17 is up and running and we see the ease of running this
press, we definitely would like to add another one of these presses to our
production floor,” Linda Trebnick concludes.
