DANTEX H23 This year, Dantex will have a fully operational PicoColour digital press running on stand for the duration of the show. The PicoColour was launched in 2015 and it works with UV-based inks, is available with CMYK plus white, and it has a printing width of 210mm and running capacity of 35m/min. The company will also be showcasing Star Plate, a
digital imaging solution designed for direct inkjet imaging to film with the ability to produce high quality screening. Star Plate uses the actual dots of the original RIPped one-bit data, preserving dot patterns, screening and dot gain calibration. The software used in this system can produce fine
Emma Williams, global category co-ordinator,
says: “Packaging Innovations is a great show to be part of; there is a large array of exhibitors and attendees every year, and the panels and talks are always really insightful. The show is a perfect way to celebrate the one-year anniversary of our Design Hub. In addition, our Newport managing director, Will Parker, will be a panellist to discuss the growth and adoption of digital technologies. We’re really excited to participate and exchange ideas with other experts in the industry.”
APIM26 The exhibition sees the UK launch of the company’s new API Trends Folio. Curated by David Peters, API’s creative development manager, the Folio acts as a source of inspiration for packaging designers, agencies and brand owners. Peters has over 20 years’ experience within the luxury and packaging sectors, covering design, production and branding across his various roles. “Many of our team come from design and
packaging backgrounds and so we understand how creatives and agencies appreciate a helping hand in regard to identifying the latest trends,” he comments. “Our new API Trends Folio has been designed to inspire, setting out the trends we expect to see within the industry for 2017-18 and providing background and examples to help leave a lasting impression.” The Trends Folio will be updated during the
year with the latest macro-trends and creative uses of foils, films and laminates as they are launched. It explores four key trends in detail – from digital and analogue technologies to the visual detail and proximity within Pause. “We are really proud of our Trends Folio and
excited for its official UK launch at Packaging Innovations,” adds Peters. “We are inviting visitors to our stand to book an individual appointment, so we can present the latest trends and provide a personal copy to take away.”
solid linework and hard dots up to 175 lines per inch. Star Plate inkjet production allows films to be produced under daylight conditions without the need for post processing, removing the need for purchase, storage or disposal of chemistry. Dantex also offers a range of letterpress and
flexographic photopolymer plates and dedicated water wash processing equipment, including the DigiWash flexo plate processor and AQFC Plate Cleaning Systems.
ZÜND PLOTTING SYSTEMS (UK) G29 The Zünd S3 M1600 will be the main focus of the company’s stand this year. This digital cutting system will show its versatility and robustness on a variety of carton and corrugated boards. The S3 range includes a variety of sizes, tools, modules and material handling systems. Also, Zünd plotting tables have a modular
construction and, thanks to this, users can invest in a configuration that can both meet their immediate needs and allow them to be future- proofed ahead of changes to their business. Peter Giddings, sales director for the company,
says: “Both Packaging Innovations shows, in Birmingham and London, are a great way to explore the whole of the packaging industry, to meet new and existing customers and listen to their needs. “We’ll be demonstrating the Zünd S3 M1600,
which is an excellent machine for packaging specialists who use corrugated and carton materials, but also many other businesses in a variety of fields working across dozens of applications. For packaging experts who wish to expand into other areas or simply to accelerate their existing processes, it offers an extremely reliable investment.”
QUALVIS PRINT & PACKAGING G45 In February last year the company introduced a new digital workflow setup in the form of two Xerox iGen digital presses at its manufacturing centre in Leicester. Qualvis provides its customers with the opportunity to rethink their product packaging and respond to changing consumer needs with the high speed, minimal setup times, automated features and variable data capability of the single-pass printing-coating lines. In addition, Qualvis has also taken delivery of a
KBA Rapida 106 seven-colour press with twin coaters and equipped with automation features designed to increase productivity and efficiency, helping to expand the company’s finishing options and product portfolio. Qualvis also recently launched a packaging design offering known as ‘Qualvis Innovations’ to provide a
single source for graphic and structural design and reproduction. This offering bridges the gap and allows clients’ projects to progress from initial sketch to finished packaging, while dealing with just one company - a compelling selling point in an overly complex creative marketplace.
EPSON G23 Epson will demonstrate the ColorWorks series of desktop colour label inkjet printers alongside its award- winning portable LabelWorks labelling devices at the show. The ColorWorks C7500 industrial printer with Wasatch RIP software is a high-speed solution with easy-
to-use colour and workflow management capabilities. As a result, it is suitable for users who need to print continuous labels as well as those who traditionally use die-cut media. The ColorWorks C3500 printer is suitable for printing high-quality colour labels, tags and tickets. This inkjet
device prints on a wide range of media, including matte and gloss-coated paper and synthetic media. Continues opposite...
