During Labelexpo Americas in Chicago next month, Omet will provide a free shuttle to the new Omet Americas Innovation Center, for live demonstrations of the Omet KFlex 17. Omet is represented by Currie Group in ANZ.

At Labelexpo itself, Omet will present its entire range of label and flexible packaging printing machines, while the new centre will host what Omet says is  “the most flexible and user-friendly” press in the industry, the new KFlex 17.

The KFlex, available in 17" and 20" models, introduces what Omet says is a new approach to flexographic printing platform. The machine features the new Switch System, which Omet says enables rapid response to production needs and process optimisation across the entire line.

During demonstrations at the Innovation Center, the KFlex will be equipped with an in-line RFID antenna insertion system provided by Tamarack. Additionally, the machine is equipped with a full UV LED system, reducing energy consumption by 60 per cent.

At Omet’s booth at Labelexpo, the XFlex X7 26” printing module for flexible packaging will be displayed. This machine combines the features of XFlex X6.0 and VaryFlex V2, offering various printing combinations and special effects for high-value end products.

Omet says XFlex X7 is ideal for flexible packaging and shrink labels, thanks to the advanced XFlex flexo unit technology, motorised printing pressures, and Multivision camera on each printing unit with On-the-Fly registration.

Visitors to the stand can also experience the Omet Virtual Tour, through the places where Omet technology is developed.
