Esko will showcase many prepress solutions for brand owners and label converters at Labelexpo Europe 2017, Sept. 25 to 28, in Brussels. These solutions will address various business challenges of brand owners as well as converters across the end-to-end label workflow.

“On stand 3C50, visitors will see solutions that simplify many steps in the process of label production throughout each stage of the workflow,” said Udo Panenka, president of Esko. “Our range of solutions shorten the lead time by cutting time out of processes, reducing the risk for errors and assuring high consistent output quality.”

Brand owners require a higher number of different print-runs produced faster to even “just in time” in lower quantities. Converters need to respond to these requirements with a more efficient and integrated production workflow that can involve a mix of print environments.

For label and packaging converters, Esko solutions are designed to improve lead-time and equipment utilization, reduce errors, and assure high consistent output quality.

At Labelexpo Europe, Esko will demonstrate how its innovations bring efficiency in each of the workflow steps of a prepress and flexo platemaking operation.

New to Labelexpo Europe is the Automation Arena, held in collaboration with Cerm, Esko, Xeikon, MPS, Kocher + Beck, AVT, Rotocontrol, Matho and Wasberger, featuring two automated press lines for digital and conventional label production from job creation through prepress, printing, finishing and invoicing.

The Esko software platform with a focus on cost control and productivity optimization, will show support of an end-to-end label workflow with hyper realistic 3D viewing, web collaboration, PDF editing, content management, and quality assurance tools.
