Labelexpo Europe

From 29 September to 2 October 2015, Labelexpo Europe, the world’s largest event for the label and package printing industries again takes place at Brussels Expo. Spanning from prepress to finishing, from inks to adhe-sives, and from software to state-of-the-art equipment, the exhib-its at Labelexpo Europe will bring together service providers, prepress companies, printers and converters, providers of ma-chinery and equipment, special-ist dealers and industry profes-sionals to discuss the latest technologies and trends, to watch product demonstrations and also make purchase deci-sions.

On show will be more than 600 manufacturers and suppli-ers of prepress and platemaking technology; digital and conven-tional printing presses; label and packaging materials; finishing

and converting systems; inspec-tion, overprinting and label ap-plication equipment; dies, cut-ters and rollers; inks and coat-ings; RFID and security solu-tions and software and interac-tive technology.

In addition, numerous semi-nars, workshops, presentations and special exhibitions will show ways on how to produce products in the future and will also introduce solutions for cur-rent problems. The Label Acad-emy Master Class is divided into “Digital label and package print-ing” and “Conventional label printing processes”. The “Print your future” feature area in the Patio Hall will advise on how to provide any label and packaging application with solutions from HP Indigo and partners. Experts explain how to break into new applications. In the brand inspi-ration area, the leading brands

will discuss how they are inno-vating with smart marketing campaigns enabled by digital technology. Visitors will be able to see the entire process from the concept and design stage, through pre-press, substrates range/flexibility printing and finishing capabilities.

The “Packprint Workshop” is again set to be one of the exhi-bition’s key attractions. It will give visitors the opportunity to enhance their product knowl-edge, understand the capabilities of the latest cutting edge tech-nologies and learn how to add scale to their existing business. It has been developed and host-ed in partnership with Nilpeter and Xeikon. During daily 30 minute workshops in Hall 8 (Stand A05), label converters will discover how to produce packaging using digital and con-ventional printing. Nilpeter will

demonstrate how to print flexible packaging and Xeikon will showcase carton printing. Being run twice daily at 11:00 and 15:00 for the first three days of the show and once on the fourth day, the workshop is compli-mentary to all show visitors.

This reflects the obvious shift in bias of Labelexpo Europe, as strengthening the focus on pack-age printing was already evident at recent shows. In 2015, pack-age printing will be a core subject and show floor and feature are-as will firmly put the spotlight on the lucrative commercial op-portunities package print pro-duction offers.

To make orientation easier for our readers, we have divided our Labelexpo Europe 2015 preview into six sections: “Prepress tech-nology”; “Conventional print-ing”; “Digital printing”; “Label materials”; “Inks and varnish-es”; and “Converting”. These sections contain information provided by the respective man-ufacturers up until the editorial deadline. New products are marked with a “H”.

Convertech EquipmentHall 4 Stand E20On display will be a range of doctor blades for standard flexo and gravure printing and coating applications. The latest addition to this product line is H Sure-

print Excel Pro. It’s a blade for longer life providing higher wear resistance for very tough require-ments.

Daetwyler SwissTec Hall 7 Stand D23The one piece construction of the One-Step doctor blade eliminates the need for a backup blade and allows straight mounting with-out any deviation. The rigid de-sign allows thicker ink to meter while maintaining a clean, sharp wipe. The strengthened blade de-creases blade flexing, creating consistent ink film metering without an ink hydroplaning ef-fect behind the blade. In flexo, especially in the narrow web market, this eliminates or sub-stantially reduces UV ink spit-ting.

DG Press Hall 11 Stand D27On show will be a printing deck of the new H Thallo web offset press for label and flexible pack-age printing. The press comes with printing widths of 520 mm (20.5”), 850 mm (33.5”), and 1050 mm (41.3”). The sleeve technology facilitates change of sizes without having to com-pletely change the unit or cas-sette, which is an effective way of printing different repeat lengths. The Thallo combines sleeve offset technology with the right price/performance ratio and rectifies a technology switch for current flexo and gravure printers.

DIP CompanyHall 4 Stand E30Since 1984, the company has provided disposable ink pans/fountains for flexo printing presses. Their newest product consists of disposable bearing holders for their Mark Andy pan liner system. Now the system is completely disposable, making changeover on the P-Series press as fast and efficient as all of our other designs.

FAES AGHall 6 Stand E21The modular, colour-coded range of slitting and rewinding ma-chines currently comprises nine products. The new H system gru-en includes a roll unwinding unit, a machine to draw in a trailer foil, a roll slitter and a re-winding unit. The distinctive fea-ture of this machine is its ability to rewind 3 mm (0.12”) ribbons from the slitting unit. The speci-fied line width is 300 mm (11.8”), which results in 100 slit rolls wound.

Flexo ConceptsHall 4 Stand B70On display will be a variety of new H MicroTip variations on their TruPoint Orange doctor blade to further enhance preci-sion metering. For example, Mi-croTip 8 provides longer blade life for most process work, and MicroTip 10 is a more robust op-tion for white decks and coarser anilox rolls. Due to the material characteristics, Orange blades will last longer than steel as well as reduce anilox scoring. Fur-thermore, the blade’s lubricity, ri-gidity and lower surface energy combine to eliminate UV ink spitting.

Flexo WashHall 7 Stand B25On show will be customized washing solutions using special-ized holders for parts like anilox rolls and doctor blade chambers. The anilox roll cleaners on show clean one to nine rolls at the same time in just 10–15 minutes. The parts washers have been re-developed so they can now not only be customized according to specific press parts, but also be supplied with trolleys to simplify the handling of parts.

Fraser Anti-StaticHall 9 Stand A09The company is introducing their new H Neos static eliminators (24V DC), providing manufactur-ing industries and OEMs with new levels of static neutralising efficiency. They use intelligent feedback systems. The measure-ment is able to detect electric
