Omet has demonstrated new machinery and solutions for the global labels and packaging market at Labelexpo 2023. Celebrating 60 years in the market, Omet serves customers across 100 countries.
Currie Group supplies Omet in New Zealand and Australia.
At the show, Omet ran demonstrations of its XJet and KFlex machines. The modular platform KFlex flexo printer handles substrates from 12 microns up to aluminium lidding and light carton board. It comes in two web widths, 40cm and 50cm. It boasts a maximum print speed of 200 metres per minute.
End use applications include food and beverage, industrial, household, healthcare, cosmetics and wine and spirits. The press can handle a range of jobs such as wraparound, shrink sleeve labels, lids, self-adhesive labels, wet glue, and multi-layer.
Omet showed optimised solutions in the areas of flexo, digital, offset and gravure printing technologies. It showed the capability to provide all these printing technologies in single pass combination printing solutions.
In addition, Omet presented its ability to print from 12 microns mono films such as PET, PVC/PET shrink, BOPP, IML and foils to 600 microns paper-based packaging such as cartons, paper cups and liquid packaging, covering the widest gamut of packaging materials on the market.
