Omet, which is celebrating its 60th anniversary year, showcases new machinery and solutions for the global labels and packaging market by running live demonstrations of its XJet and KFlex machines at its stand. 

The KFlex flexo printing machine is a modular platform press that can handle substrates from 12 microns up to aluminium lidding and light carton board. It comes in two web widths – 16-inch and 20-inch – and boasts a maximum print speed of 200m/min.

The machine is targeted at end-use applications in markets including food and beverage, industrial, household, healthcare, cosmetics and wine and spirits. The press is also designed to handle a range of jobs – from wraparound, shrink sleeve labels to lids, self-adhesive labels to wet glue and multi-layer. 

With 60 years on the market and proudly serving market leaders across 100 countries, Omet also took to Labelexpo Europe to demonstrate its ability to provide optimised solutions in the areas of flexo, digital, offset and gravure printing technologies with the capability to provide all these printing technologies in single pass combination printing solutions. 

In addition, Omet presents its proven capability 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.
