Organisers of next week's PacPrint13 printing industry show in Melbourne have said the labelling and packaging sector has proven to be one of the most resilient segments of the market in the lead-up to the show.
They have pointed to the presence of such companies as Currie Group, Cyber, Aldus Engineering, Epson, Ferrostaal and others as evidence of the label and packaging sector's strength and support for the show.
Highlights for the sector at the show will include the new SurePress L-4033A short run digital label press from Epson Australia, an entry-level press which fits easily into existing workflows for those seeking to expand capacity, as well as for large-scale product manufacturers and commercial printers.
Variety will be the key on Label Power’s stand with full colour label and tag printing, barcode printers and scanners, data capture equipment and plastic card printers, printed packaging tape and even custom-made holograms. The company was also an exhibitor at last week's AUSPACK PLUS show in Sydney.
Screen Australia will be focusing on digital with the Truepress Jet L350UV roll-to-roll label press, which is designed to answer the growing demand for value-added packaging with high image quality, fast turnarounds and stable output.
PacPrint stalwart Aldus Engineering will feature the latest Mark Andy model P5 eight-colour flexo press with new QCDC die cutting system, flanked by a range of other converting equipment for the flexible packaging and label manufacturing industries.
Another totally new product, the US built iTech AXXIS HS Digital Label system, will be demonstrated on the Label Print Systems stand.
A complete print and finishing solution for ‘on demand’ production,, it offers high speed, high resolution print using OKI LED toner technology and a finisher with lamination, die-less die-cutting, stripping, slitting and rewinding.
Metromatics will launch its new Kiaro Ink Jet colour label printer, a fast and cost-effective unit which prints glossy labels in 1200dpi with no plates and no mess, alongside the Vivo Touch digital LED colour label printer and Pronto! Barcode printers.
First-time PacPrint exhibitor and Primera Technology representative Region4 is also promising a ‘total solution’ with the new desktop Primera DL500 Durable Label Printer for heavy duty.
Label Power will follow up its appearance at last week's AUSPACK PLUS show with a packed stand at next week's PacPrint13 show in Melbourne.
