Hapa maps out its advantages in ink at the Coesia stand (Stand 440).

The Swiss specialist. Hapa. develops individual On Demand and Late Stage Customisation packaging printing solutions for the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and infant-formula industries. The solutions enable flexible and cost-effective production even of low batches. For printing variable data, Hapa offers a broad range of innovative digital printing systems – from printing systems up to custom-made inks.

On the Coesia stand, Hapa will be demonstrating direct printing with redcube. The redcube, Hapa’s compact UV DOD print module, excels at serialisation, coding, and marking on a wide range of products and blank or pre-printed materials.

A redcube is easily installed on existing production lines and labelling machines. Integrated in a Laetus track-and-trace solution, a redcube will exhibit a single-colour, print-capability solution for track and trace. It will print variable- and language-specific data onto pre-printed erected cartons.

When printing directly with redcube, Hapa also demonstrates the excellent quality of its inks. Hapa Ink, an in-house division of Hapa, delivers inks designed to the exact specifications of a particular application – for printing on plastic, glass, aluminium, labels or carton. Hapa Ink develops and produces custom-made inks in any volume, no matter how small.
