Leading print finishing specialists, A B Graphic International (ABG), will be using Labelexpo Americas 2022 to showcase new developments from its product portfolio, as well as reconnecting with customers and prospects, on what will be its biggest ever stand.

In making its mark at its first major exhibition since Labelexpo Europe in 2019 the company – which is represented by Currie Group in ANZ – will be showcasing more finishing machines than ever before, and says eager to show how it is constantly innovating to improve efficiencies and workflow for their customers.

Machines on display will include ABG’s flagship Digicon Series 3 beverage specification, including Big Foot, Flat Bed Screen and more retrofittable modules; ABG’s new SRI3, incorporating enhanced functionality and ease of use for operators, while being fully retrofittable; DigiLite; DigiLase with a new decal option for roll-to-roll, individual pieces and A4 sheets; Vectra ECTR – for what ABG says is “the ultimate efficiency” in turret rewinders; and an RTS Sheeter.

A bar and hospitality area will be available, in addition to two breakout rooms for collaboration and detailed discussions. ABG will also be showcasing the first Actega Ecoleaf unit in North America - this will be a stand-alone unit to highlight the machine’s innovative technology.

Visitors can arrange one-to-one demos at the show by contacting Currie Group to arrange a suitable date and time in Chicago.

Staff from Enprom, ABG’s latest acquisition will also be available to talk about the latest additions to the ABG portfolio; non-stop winding technology, and a range of shrink sleeve product.

ABG will also be taking part in a panel discussion at Cerm’s Integration Arena on booth 5213. Joined by Cerm, Screen, Parkland International and Dr Adrian Steele from Mercian Labels, the purpose of Cerm’s Integration Arena is to show how an integrated workflow that connects all different elements within a business can improve productivity. Dr Steele will be available to meet visitors at either booth 3223 (ABG) or booth 5213 (Cerm) throughout the event.
