Labelsexpo success for Xeikon

Thursday 08. November 2018 - Divisions of Flint Group, including its Digital Solutions division, Xeikon, hosted one of the most popular exhibits at Labelexpo Americas 2018. The largest event for the label printing industry in the Americas, it was the venue for Xeikons announcement of its new entry-level Label Discovery solution featuring the Xeikon 3030. Xeikon showcased and sold all the digital label printing solutions it demonstrated at the trade show.

“Labelexpo was a resounding success for us,” said Donna Covannon, Director of Marketing, Xeikon America, Inc. “Our booth was always busy and visitors were impressed by Xeikon’s commitment to matching the right technology choice with the customer’s application – whether EP toner or UV inkjet – and offering options to grow along with customers’ businesses.”
Each of the Xeikon digital presses on display at Labelexpo was purchased and has been shipped directly from the show floor to the customer. The following are just some of the customers who recognize Xeikon as their trusted advisor.
Southern Tape & Label, a prominent South Florida label printer, had discovered a steady stream of digital label opportunities with a Xeikon Jetrion solution and found that demand from their customers required an additional printing solution. They chose from the Xeikon 3000 Series, solution family and their new press was shipped directly from Labelexpo to their production facility. The solution includes a Xeikon 3030 web-fed digital label press and the miniDcoat, a digital converting solution that can be used in-line or off-line with the 3030.
Chris Martin at Creative Labels in northern California identified the Xeikon Cheetah CX3 as the right solution for his business. He plans to use the Cheetah press to serve the company’s growing base of customers in the food and beverage market, and plans to expand immediately into heat transfer labels and soon in the future into flexible packaging. Martin explained his plans in a video interview with whattheythink.com.
Martin’s Cheetah CX3 was part of the Automation Arena, where it was the only digital press in operation. The Automation Arena was a Labelexpo-sponsored project that offered visitors live demonstrations of equipment from multiple vendors working together to provide a fully-automated end-to-end workflow.
USA Label Express, a family-run printing business founded in 1971 and based in Bolivar, Ohio, purchased the Panther PX3000 UV inkjet digital label press that was demonstrated at the show. The company also uses a Xeikon Jetrion printing solution and is looking to grow its business with the new volume and capabilities of the Panther press.
Looking to expand into the heat transfer market space, a label provider in southern California purchased the Xeikon 3500 on display at the show.
