AM Labels will put on live demonstrations of its range of labelling equipment at Packaging Innovations and Empack 2025, including the Epson ColorWorks C8000 colour label printer, the Afinia Label X350 digital roll-to-roll press, and automatic applicators from LabelPack.
The trade show returns to the NEC, Birmingham from February 12-13. AM Labels outlined plans to show the benefits of the Afinia Label X350 digital roll-to-roll press. The product is designed for labels and flexible packaging. Thanks to its 350mm print width, eight-litre CMYK ink capacity with two litres per colour channel, and print speeds of up to 29 inches per second, AM said the X350 is ‘ideal’ for high volume production requirements.
Visitors to the company’s stand will have the opportunity to experience the recently introduced Epson ColorWorks C8000 industrial colour label printer. This is said to offer ‘enhanced’ print quality, allowing for the production of ‘vibrant, high gloss’ images. It is compatible with a variety of materials, including matte and gloss paper, and synthetic label materials. The printer is designed to meet high-volume label production needs of businesses in a range of industries. AM will also be displaying the Epson ColorWorks C4000 and C6500 label printers.
In addition to colour label printers, AM will be exhibiting the latest automation equipment from its portfolio. The business can supply applicators for a range of packaging needs. On the stand will be the programmable, fully automatic, LabelPack Label X JR applicator and LabelPack COMPACT WA automatic bottle applicator, which can apply labels directly onto jars, bottles and cans. An automated packet feeding system, connected to the Label X JR wipe-on applicator, will also be showcased.
In addition, attendees can see the LabelPack Panda print and apply system in action. Designed to be integrated with thermal transfer print engines from manufacturers including SATO, Zebra and TSC, the solution utilises a motorised liner re-winder and features an anti-rotating linear applicator with a 300mm stroke as standard. The system is suited to companies printing variable batches or those that require different labels to be attached to each product, such as in distribution or logistics sectors where businesses are printing and applying shipping labels. AM also offers a linerless print and apply system.
Brendon Bass, sales and marketing manager, said, “We’re excited to showcase our innovative labelling solutions at this year’s Packaging Innovations and Empack exhibition. The exhibition is the perfect venue for us to connect with existing and potential customers from a range of different industries.”
