Label&Print,
which returns to Birmingham’s NEC on 27 & 28 February 2019, will offer
visitors an exclusive look at the future of the industry, showcasing the very
latest products, services and technologies available to the packaging
community. From leading sellers and manufacturers of print and labelling
equipment, through to designing, branding and finishing experts, it is the must
attend event in any packaging professional’s calendar.
With
innovation at the heart of the show, many of the suppliers will be launching
their new solutions to the UK market. For example, AM Labels will debut its new
range of printers that incorporates the latest digital LED technology with an
efficient design, offering speed, reliability and cost-effectiveness.
Astro
Nova will be showcasing its new CMYKW printer - the first of its kind in the
industry. The new technology harnesses a digital 5-colour toner which prints
with a 1200 dpi resolution and allows direct printing onto coloured materials,
such as black polyester and silver paper. The company will also be exhibiting
its QL-300 toner-based 5-colour desktop label printer.
Renz
UK will be launching its Argos Solutions F400 Cold UV Coating Machine to the UK
market. This new machine offers a cost-effective and eco-alternative to plastic
laminating by utilising a thin layer of liquid coating to protect and enhance
printed sheets. It provides a completely plastic-free solution which will save
thousands of tonnes of lamination film being disposed of every year.
AG/CAD
will be showcasing its state of the art DYSS X5 digital cutter and sheet feeder
which features the latest K-CUT Vision software. The high-quality,
lightning-fast X5 machine has been designed specifically to handle all
prototyping, sample making and short/medium board converters.
Also
exhibiting at Label&Print 2019 is Skanem UK, which will show its brand-new
Magic Code labels, alongside its new portfolio of Smart and Intelligent labels,
which offer NFC, RFID and QR codes. The new labels offer the same interactive
elements as other smart labels on the market but at a more commercially viable
cost.
The
Label Makers will be using the show to exhibit a selection of product
developments. Taking centre stage on the stand will be it’s award-winning,
reverse printed back label for Portobello Road Navy Gin.
Dantex
will display its latest innovation, the PicoJet digital UV inkjet press,
alongside its already popular PicoColour Digital Press.
Following
its recent release, HYBRID Software will be showcasing its latest innovation in
variable data print technology for the popular PACKZ and Cloudflow range of
native PDF products. The PACKZ VDP module allows any element of a label or pack
to be variable whilst in the prepress environment. Elements can then be linked
with the variable data supplied as a CSV file, allowing results to be seen live
before creating a PDF output file. This latest technology increases
productivity by saving time during the printing process.
As
the only ink manufacturer exhibiting at the show, Pulse Roll Label Products
will be unveiling its flagship UV flexo ink system which offers high colour
strength and colour consistency. Live PureTone colour matching demos will be
taking place on-stand, providing visitors with the opportunity to see how label
printers can achieve optimal print quality first-hand. Pulse Roll will also be
displaying the latest additions to its product portfolio, the PureTone Food
Packaging Compliant (FPC) UV flexo inks and the PureFinish FPC UV flexo
varnishes and adhesives, which are suitable for non-direct food packaging and
labelling application.
In
