iSys Label, Canadian developer
and manufacturer of short to mid run digital label printers, has announced a
strong showing at the recent Labelexpo Americas. The tradeshow was held
September 9-11th at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL.,
and had an attendance upwards of 16,029 visitors during the three day event.
With iSys Label distributors and resellers joining from Canada, United States,
Mexico, Australia and the Latin Americas and in the booth, there was a
substantial amount of sales done directly at the show, and many to come in the
forthcoming weeks.
With the recent announcement of
“section 3” certification for printing BS5609-compliant drum and chemical
labels on the EDGE 850, iSys garnered a large amount of interest from print
houses and companies needing to comply with the upcoming January 2015 deadline.
The full color die-cut labels being printed were done using polyester stock
from MACtac, and deliver outstanding stability and resistance to water,
chemicals, fading and smudges when exposed to the harshest of elements. In addition to the EDGE 850 printing GHS
labels, the same machine was shown printing on continuous stock from UPM
Raflatac in preparation for cutting, stripping and matrix removal on finishing
equipment for users needing more versatility and flexibility in their print
shops.
Lastly, iSys Label displayed
their flagship product, the Apex 1290 – a standalone digital label press for
short to mid run production. During the exhibition, iSys demonstrated the
printing of full bleed die-cut wine labels from Avery Dennison. With media
print widths ranging from 3” to 12.9” wide, users were shown how they can
print, slit and rewind production-worthy labels with ease.

Label remarks, “With every year that passes, iSys Label sees a substantial
increase in the amount of patrons who are interested in the digital label
printing market space. People looking for this technology seem to be more
knowledgeable than in the past and are actively seeking digital label
technology to fill their needs, whether it be in a print production facility or
as brand owners looking to print their own labels. At Labelexpo Americas, iSys
had distributors from all over the world and were very successful throughout
the show with many installs happening immediately in the next couple weeks, as
well as near future. The Labelexpo shows are something we look forward to all
year long and we are excited to be attending the upcoming show in Brussels next
fall.”
