Italian label press manufacturer Omet, represented in ANZ by Currie Group, will use the upcoming Labelexpo to preview its new printing and converting platform, which it says is designed to “redefine” industry standards.

The company says the new platform will have newly developed exclusive features, which will be unveiled for the first time at the show, through live demonstrations that Omet says will highlight its technical innovations, performance, and application potential.

According to Omet its new solution has been developed to meet the evolving needs of the market, and provide printers worldwide with new competitive advantages.

Alongside the new launch, a second Omet machine will also be in operation – which Omet says is already well-established for its reliability, versatility, and high-quality performance in shrink sleeve and flexible packaging production. This press will also be featured in a packed schedule of live demos throughout the exhibition.

Omet says innovation has always been part of its DNA – and says at Labelexpo 2025 a “new chapter” is about to begin.
