Labelexpo Europe 2019 plans flexible packaging feature
July 28, 2019Labelexpo Europe 2019 has planned a Flexible Packaging Arena feature area for narrow web label converters looking to enter the fast-growing flexible packaging market.
Seen for the very first time at the show, the Flexible Packaging Arena will showcase both conventional and digital converting of stand-up pouches to GMP quality assurance standards, along with information on the opportunities currently offered by short run value added flexible packaging on mid-web in-line presses.
Bobst and its Revno partners Apex, AVT, DuPont, Esko, Flint Group and X-Rite will show a conventional Bobst M6 combination press with in-line lamination – including a world-first showing of GEW’s multi-point UV monitor (mUVm) in-line UV dose monitoring system. Xeikon will show for the first time its CX500 digital press in-line with a new pouch laminating system.
There will be 30-minute demonstrations running several times a day over the four days of Labelexpo Europe 2019. They will also include a presentation from the industry-wide UVFoodSafe group on the work it is conducting on best practice in UV curing of indirect food contact materials.
Each session will be filmed live and relayed via large screens to show visitors. Sample packs will be available and representatives from the companies involved will be on hand to answer more detailed questions.
