With Labelexpo Europe 2019 now just weeks away, Esko, a global provider of integrated solutions for label professionals, has revealed partnerships with more than 20 other exhibitors at the Brussels event. Underlining its theme of ‘Labels Connected’, Esko will showcase its portfolio of innovative hardware and software solutions on booth C60 and will also have a presence on over 20 partner stands to demonstrate the company’s integration capabilities.

Obviously, we are looking forward to welcoming delegates to our booth, where we will showcase the full Esko ecosystem in operation at the heart of our Labels Connected exhibit,” said Jan De Roeck, Esko Marketing Director. “Just like our customers’ operations extend beyond artwork editing and workflow automation, the Esko ecosystem of solutions reaches further than just the Esko products. We are partnering with plate manufacturers, ink suppliers, press vendors and software system integrators from across the labels sector to ensure that Labelexpo visitors can experience the power of an integrated and connected label workflow at this year’s expo.”

Highlighting the value of connectivity and automation, Esko will illustrate to visitors how individual software solutions can add value to the prepress and print process, but also combine to unlock new heights of efficiency. “Furthermore, visitors to the Esko booth at Labelexpo Brussels will be able to see the entire spectrum of software technologies in action with live demonstrations of everything from our scalable automated workflow server Automation Engine and award-winning flexo platemaking and screening software Print Control Wizard, to the web-based project management platform WebCenter, 3D packaging software Studio and next-generation prepress editor ArtPro+.

“The color scheme we use on our booth to identify the different parts of the Esko ecosystem will then be reflected across our partners’ exhibits to support a special competition. Our ‘Color Hunt’ fun event will give visitors the chance to win some great prizes each day as they visit each partner booth and learn about our solutions,” said Jan.

“At this year’s expo we are also co-exhibiting with the market leader in inline inspection systems, AVT, and will demonstrate an automated job setup in AVT AutoSet to showcase our connected workflow, underlining our commitment to enhancing the overall print environment,” he said. “Finally, our packed schedule will see us give visitors and invited guests a special close-up introduction to the Esko CDI Crystal 4835 XPS flexo imager with plate handler, as well as demonstrations of best practice workflows for labels and flexible packaging production.” Esko will welcome visitors to booth C60 in Hall 3 of Brussels Expo Centre.
