A B Graphic International, represented in ANZ by Currie Group, launched a record 25 innovations at Labelexpo last month, including its ABG Connect automated workflow solution.
The UK-based company had 17 different finishing solutions on its largest ever stand at the show, during which it took orders from around the world, including from Australia, with trade print operation CMYKhub signing up for a new Digicon digital embellishing system.
The company says that Connect enables labels and packaging printers to fully automate and integrate the ABG finishing line, producing "elevated productivity and reduced downtime" and waste from as little as three metres between job changeovers.
In addition, Connect means the ABG line can be integrated directly to MIS, to automatically send job data to the machine via a scanned barcode, and receive live job data for accurate production reporting direct from the ABG finishing solution.
ABG also launched new flexo technology, non-stop equipment, the new Vectra G, its latest SRI and the modular 530 converter.
Visitors were able to attend 30 presentations, designed to illuminate the capabilities of ABG's non-stop converting line, the Digicon Series 3 with ABG Connect, and what the company says is the “seamless integration” of DigiLase/DigiJet on HP’s stand. Live demonstrations on all ABG solutions ensured that attendees could witness these innovations in action.
“Labelexpo was an outstanding success for ABG this year,” said ABG’s CEO, Richard Knight. “Our dedicated and hardworking team went above and beyond to make the event memorable. We showcased a variety of brand-new innovations, illustrating to our customers how keen we are to offer solutions and continue to push forward as a market leader.”
