A Legacy of Innovation
Label & Litho has a rich history dating back to the early 1960s.

Based in Rosslyn, Pretoria, the company has been serving customers across South Africa with flexographic, lithographic, and digital printing solutions.
Commitment to Quality and Customization

The company offers tailored solutions that meet unique requirements, ensuring customer satisfaction. As a Level 2 BEE certified business, Label & Litho is committed to sustainable growth and employee empowerment.
Nilpeter’s Focus on Africa
The installation of the FB-14 follows Nilpeter’s increased focus on the African market, highlighted by its participation in ProPak Africa in Johannesburg earlier this year. The partnership with Label & Litho reaffirms Nilpeter’s local relevance and its commitment to supporting the next generation of printers across the continent.
Conclusion
The investment in the Nilpeter FB-14 by Label & Litho is a significant milestone for both companies. It not only enhances Label & Litho‘s production capabilities but also strengthens Nilpeter’s presence in South Africa.
