Session Overview
As sustainability requirements continue to grow across the label industry, converters are increasingly expected to improve recyclability and comply with stringent food safety standards.
This session will explore the key requirements shaping the future of label printing, including enhanced recyclability through deinking and safe design principles for food packaging applications. In addition, the latest digital printing technologies from Xeikon will be introduced as practical solutions to these challenges.
The presentation will also highlight Ecolyne, Xeikon’s next-generation digital label press that combines affordable investment costs with true production-level performance, and TITON, a unique technology that combines the durability of UV inkjet printing with the food safety advantages of dry toner technology. The features, benefits, and application opportunities of both solutions will be discussed.
As label converters seek to balance environmental responsibility with profitability, this session will provide valuable insights into new technologies and business opportunities that support sustainable growth in a rapidly evolving market.
