The discussion of labels and labeling tends to revolve around materials. But another part of the equation, and perhaps just as important, is the labeling machinery. Learn how companies like Primera Technology, Videojet and Xeikon are making game-changing advances in this area.

Visitors to the Flint Group/Xeikon booth, 6419 in Hall F, can meet the teams and learn about print technologies that minimize energy consumption, reduce waste, streamline operations and promote circularity.

With high image quality, bright colors and silky surface, packets of ‘Maoam Chew Fruit Mix’ showcase Xeikon’s groundbreaking TITON dry toner technology printed on heat-sealable Sappi Seal Silk 67 g/m2 functional paper.

Developed for high quality labels, the five-color machine offers a 330mm printing width and speeds up to 70 m/min, even when printing with high opacity white.

Sappi’s long-standing expertise in innovative, paper-based packaging solutions and Xeikon’s far-reaching knowledge of cross-sector digital printing applications and innovative ink technology ideally complemented each other in this collaborative venture.

The new machines are available for online demonstrations from Xeikon’s Global Innovation Center and commercially worldwide.
