Australian printers are invited to Belgium, as Xeikon is hosting its first inhouse café event, aiming to show label and packaging printers digital production technology for a range of applications.
During the event printers will see short run folding cartons, self adhesive labels, in-mould labels and heat transfer decoration lines in action. Xeikon has about two dozen partner companies at the café, including front end .developers and finishing lines.
Grish Rewal, managing director of Xeikon’s Australian distributor Absolute Electonics says, “The demand for short run and just in time labels and packaging is increasing rapidly, and Xeikon with its partners has developed a range of end to end solutions to enable print business owners to exploit these emerging opportunities. The Xeikon café is a great opportunity for Australian label and packaging printers to see first hand four different applications in production.”

Filip Weymans, Xeikon’s director of Segment Marketing Labels & Packaging, says, “This event is an ideal opportunity to discover the huge potential of digital printing and automated production workflows, and to learn how integrated digital production solutions can drive innovation and help established print producers grow their business even further.”
“Through demonstrations, presentations, workshops and discussions, participants receive first-hand actionable information and advice on industry innovations and trends. Xeikon printers will share their experience of using their application suites and talk about how this has contributed to the success of their business. And there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions, exchange ideas on digital production and explore opportunities with Aura Partners, Xeikon staff and fellow participants.
The three day event will have the same programme every day. It runs May 20-22 at Xeikon’s headquarters in Belgium. Entry is free, but registration at www.xeikon.com is required.
