Epson to Showcase Label and Packaging Solutions at Labelexpo Americas 2022

Epson announced it will be exhibiting at Labelexpo Americas, North America’s largest event for the label, product demonstration, web printing, and converting industries.

Epson will be showcasing its labeling solutions – including the new SurePress digital label presses and ColorWorks on-demand label printers – as well as SureColor wide-format printers. Epson’s solutions and demonstrations will be on display from Sept. 13-15 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago, IL in booth 5821.

During the show, Epson’s Mike Pruitt, senior product manager, Industrial Labels, will participate in the Label Academy Master Class on Digital Embellishment on Sept. 14.

Organized by the Label Academy, this five-hour master class offers the necessary technical knowledge and expert guidance that label converters are likely to require when considering a move into the fast-growing field of digital embellishment. Epson’s booth is part of the Digital Embellishment Trail, which showcases the latest developments in digital decoration technology.

“Businesses are looking to optimize materials and human resources, making this an ideal time to look at solutions like the SurePress that delivers value with automation by saving substrates and reducing operator press input,” said Pruitt. “Labelexpo provides a great opportunity to demonstrate the benefits of Epson’s solutions and allow visitors to view in-person demos, see the output quality in person, and talk with product experts.”
