SARASOTA, FLA. (March 12, 2019) – S-One Labels & Packaging is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Custom Design Applications (CDA) to develop the CatPak™ System.

CatPak™ is the full solution for coating and curing 30-inch flexible packaging films utilizing eBeam technology. EBeam is the state-of-the-art, high-demand finishing option for fast, clean, food-safe flex-pack films. CatPak™ brings all the key components together in one system.

Converters opt for eBeam because it offers a uniform, instantaneous cure that creates a food-compliant finished surface without post-cure time, and eBeam provides the same gloss and depth of image as reverse printed and laminated packaging. Plus, the CatPak™ System won’t damage HP Indigo ElectroInk, and it seamlessly supports fixtures like zippers and spouts.

The CatPak™ System includes the eBeam coater, Corona Treater and 30-inch web unwind and rewind modules integrated into the eBeam curing system base frame. The system can also be customized to include digital embellishing equipment. EBeam coatings and flexible packaging films will also be available through the CatPak™ System and S-OneLP to complete the full flex-pack printing and finishing solution.

“We are excited to combine CDA’s amazing ability to build high-quality, state-of-the-art equipment with S-OneLP’s extensive films and coatings expertise and offer to our customers the single most reliable high performing eBeam system for flex-pack applications,” says Ralph Giammarco, VP of S-One Labels & Packaging.

CatPak™ System Highlights:

• Compact finishing system
• Instantly cured high-performance indirect food-contact compliant coatings
• Speed: Up to 600 feet per minute (mechanical speed)
• Patented integrated shield roll fixes the position of the web
• Minimizes nitrogen flow
• Easily accessible for maintenance and cleaning
• Use for fully flood-coated or spot-registered eBeam coating

“This partnership with S-OneLP allows CDA to utilize our expertise on not only building and maintaining custom designed equipment, but to create systems that will be optimized with coatings and films to produce the best solutions for our customers,” says CDA President and CEO Tim Burke.

S-One Labels & Packaging is excited to announce its expansion into the EMEA region, as of Nov. 5, 2018. Effective immediately, all orders that were processed through BMG Media Source will now be handled by S-OneLP.

In addition to offering products like Michelman’s DigiPrime and DigiGuard in select countries, S-OneLP EMEA will present a growing list of products for digital printing of customized labels and flexible packaging, including over-print varnishes, coatings, additives and films to the entire EMEA region.

As with the S-OneLP business in the Americas, S-OneLP EMEA will pair relevant products with unparalleled service, technical know-how and integrated solutions with a highly experienced team based in the region.

An immediate benefit in logistics is that we are moving from the BMG media warehouse in Saint Witz, France to Nijmegen, Netherlands. This will drastically shorten lead times and improve service. This new warehouse also enables us to carry other chemistries besides water-based products.

This expansion responds to the ever-increasing demand for new innovative label solutions and for digital printers to integrate into providing customized and shorter runs of flexible packaging to their brand customers.

“S-OneLP’s mission is to understand our label and packaging converters applications, bring them critical information, and provide optimal product solutions to help them serve their brand owners,” says Ralph Giammarco, S-OneLP’s Global Vice President. “This expansion into the EMEA market will allow us to work with our customers to shorten time to market and to create innovative label and packaging solutions for important areas like durable labels, security, sustainable solutions and flexible packaging.”

S-One Labels & Packaging is excited to announce that it has expanded operations into Canada. Effective immediately, all orders that were processed through LexJet will now be handled by S-OneLP, which will have inventory and shipping out of Ontario.

In addition to the DigiPrime and DigiGuard products from Michelman and the Levia products from Utopia Digital Technologies that were offered through LexJet, S-OneLP is bringing to Canada a full line of films and custom over-print varnishes for label and flexible packaging print service providers.

These essential products paired with unparalleled service, technical know-how, and integrated solutions are provided by the S-OneLP team along with some of the best brands in the industry, such as Toray America, Protect-all, and Kustom Koatings.

Demand for Organics Creates Opportunity

“We’ve been fortunate to have a number of loyal customers in Canada over the years,” says Ralph Giammarco, vice president of S-OneLP. “We’re definitely excited to bring greater depth of service and breadth of product solutions to our Canadian customers.

“In addition, the high growth in demand for organic products in Canada reflects an opportunity to collaborate with them to use our films and primers to expand their capabilities into the flexible packaging and durable label markets.”

Other technologies, such as advanced security and authentication products, will also be available to S-OneLP’s Canadian customers.

With S-OneLP and VerifyMe, printers can offer brands new ways to protect their products with RainbowSecure security inks.

SARASOTA, FLA – S-One Labels & Packaging is pleased to announce a new partnership with Kustom Group to introduce a wide variety of over-print varnishes and coatings designed for both flexo and digitally printed label and packaging markets.

Under the Kustom Koatings brand, S-OneLP will offer standard coatings, such as gloss or matte, and specialty coatings using sand, glitter and many more. The two companies will also jointly create proprietary coatings individually customized and developed under the new co-branded KustomLP product line.

“Utilizing the exceptional products developed by Kustom Group and S-One’s Utopia Digital Technologies’ development lab creates a powerful partnership that is sure to disrupt our industry with all of the new possibilities in coatings and over-print varnishes,” says Ralph Giammarco, Vice President of S-One Labels & Packaging. “And we’re going to bring these customized products to our customers with shorter lead times than they’ve had access to in the past.”

This new partnership will not only allow PSPs to receive products more quickly, but will offer the opportunity to create one-of-a-kind UV- and water-based coatings that perform special functions, such as greater adhesion, more or less gloss levels, light or gritty sand, hieroglyphics effects, scratch-off release or whatever finish a customer’s designer can dream up.

“We have been selling our products through various channels in the past with great success but are looking forward to a more direct approach with a service expert like S-OneLP,” says Michael Gerkin, Jr.; Kustom Group President & COO.  “Having a partner eliminating barriers and creating exposure in the expanding digital, labels and packaging markets is very exciting and a huge advantage to print producers.”

The S-OneLP/Kustom Group partnership adds to the growing list of partnerships for S-OneLP, the direct source for primers, over-print varnishes, pre-laminated films, thermal laminates and customized coatings for HP Indigo press owners.

Dscoop 2018 in Dallas was filled with inspiring moments throughout the 4-day conference, and we couldn’t have been happier to have our first major outing as S-OneLP during the event. Dscoop lived up to its promise of “Unleashing Print,” with many awesome print displays, conversations and industry-changing ideas that all came together inside the Gaylord Texan Conference Center.

When we weren’t talking labels and packaging supplies in our booth, we couldn’t help but be impressed with the innovation going on all around us. HP set up four areas, Storyland, Inkland, Brandland and Thinkland, where they showed off what seemed like endless creative ideas, but also the power of personalizing with print and the HP Inkspiration Awards. On display was the winning entry by one of our customers, Bennett Graphics, pairing HP Indigo 6800 and 10000 technology and Scodix Ultra Pro Digital Press (more on Bennett later).

We were also amazed by the new technology and concepts in the HP booth, which included watching Toray Plastics films run on the HP Indigo 20000, and the invisible security inks from one of our partners, VerifyMe. Adding additional layers of security is becoming an important piece of the package printing puzzle, especially in pharmaceutic and cosmetic markets. Expect to hear much more about the possibilities of print and security in the near future!

Back in our booth, we explained S-OneLP’s role as the only channel partner focused solely on full solutions for digital label and flexible packaging printers. We hope we inspired our booth visitors to “Lead the Pack” into this new frontier. Our booth took on that adventurous theme with a camp-out feel that even included a campfire.

Our next-door neighbors and partner, Michelman, shared some exciting news during Dscoop, which included the launch of DigiPrime^® 022, DigiGuard^® 222 and DigiGuard^® 901 additive, solutions as part of the launch of the HP Indigo Pack Ready for Labels. These products are geared for “durable labels,” such as automotive oils, refrigerated and sterilized goods, and cleaning and bathroom products, and will be available through S-OneLP.

We want to extend our thanks to Edwards Labels in Ventura, Calif., who printed all of our flexible packaging samples, and Bennett Graphics in Atlanta for producing all the labels on the tins throughout our booth as well as the pre-Dscoop mailer we sent to some customers. With these labels and packaging, we got to show booth visitors our materials at work, including:

• Protect-all pre-laminated films: Metallic snack web, clear snack web and clear stand-up
• Michelman primers: DigiPrime DP680, DigiPrime DP680 b-1
• Michelman over-print varnishes: DigiGuard Gloss 110 and DigiGuard Matte 173
• Kustom Koatings custom spot coatings: KS-494 Imprintable Gloss UV Coating, KS-535, Metallic Angle Dependent UV Coating

Our VP Ralph Giammarco and Global Director of Sales, Tom Hauenstein, gave a presentation in one of the break-out sessions titled, Lead the Pack, How to expand your label printing business into flexible packaging printing. We were thrilled at the turn-out — standing room only! The Q&A session sparked great conversations about how we can all work together to take digital label and packaging printing to the next level.

We are excited to see not only how this ever-evolving market continues to grow, but also how the Dscoop community continues to support it. We’ll see you at Dscoop 2019 in Orlando!
