Labelexpo Europe: Find the Digital Print Materials You Need Now

By

The S-One Labels & Packaging team will be in Labelexpo stand 7E36 to showcase the latest materials and opportunities for digital printing for labels and packaging. Last year was our first exhibit at Labelexpo, and this year is our first time at Labelexpo Europe in Brussels later this month. We’re excited to join the 40th anniversary of Labelexpo Europe, along with 600 exhibitors and attendees from around the world!

In our stand, you’ll learn about:

  • Sustainable ByDesign: We’ll introduce our sustainable packaging materials, including our product lines, ReTreve™ (recyclable) and ReEarth™ (compostable). We’ll feature recyclable printed pouches and discuss our growing portfolio of recyclable and compostable product lines.
  • Flexible packaging: Discover the ideal pre-laminate films, overlaminate films and overprint varnishes for digital flexible packaging printing. This line, which features key products for HP Pack Ready, is being built for the European market, as well as the U.S.
  • We’ll showcase durable labels, which is made up of Michelman DigiGuard 901 OPV Strengthener and S-OneLP KustomLP overprint varnish. These products are exclusively available through S-OneLP, and are considered the preferred solution for HP Pack Ready for Labels to enhance label durability.
  • Brand protection: We’ll have information about VerifyMe and the HP Indigo approved Rainbow Secure ink and the VeriPas Track and Trace program.
  • eBeam: As you read this, we are preparing to install our first ever CatPak™ eBeam system in the U.S.! This system includes the eBeam coater and curing unit, unwind/rewind and proprietary features and drive system that can be customized. This ensures ease of operation, reliability and durability for immediate high-output and consistent long-term performance in standard and sustainable flexible packaging eBeam finishing.

Be sure to visit S-OneLP in Labelexpo stand 7E36 to learn about these exiting developments in the label and flexible packaging industry, and how S-OneLP can help you use them to build your business!

Our First Labelexpo Americas Was Hot & Spicy!

By

Labelexpo Americas 2018 did not disappoint for the S-OneLP team! During the late-September three-day show in Chicago, we met many industry leaders, movers and shakers. Plus, we had the opportunity to showcase many of our products and services to the thousands of enthusiastic attendees who visited our booth.

Labelexpo Recap: Our Showcase Brands

Our booth’s “Marketplace” theme was created to showcase four real companies who partnered with us to discover how re-imagined packaging could elevate their products and boost their brand image. We displayed packaging for Boyland Sauce Co. Wake ‘n’ Bake Chipotle Hot Sauce, Amy’s Candy Bar Turtles, Savory Spice Onion Dip Mix and Boardwalk Craft Beer Pretzels in our booth.

Our goal in featuring these brands was to show label and packaging printers how they, too, can find local, artisan brands and help them upgrade their packaging so that it will pop off the shelves and stand out in the crowd. We started with Boyland Wake ‘n’ Bake. When brand owner Rob Boyland found himself in a pinch, he ended up using his home computer to print bottle labels, which had a craft-paper type look to them.

Boyland let us re-imagine his label design, and our graphic designer took it to the next level with a new label featuring Boyland’s iconic look. We loved having him in the booth to hand out samples and share his experience. He and S-OneLP product specialist Kara Work talked to Label & Narrow Web magazine in this video.

The new labels not only featured a new look, but we had them finished in three ways to show how one brand can take on different looks, including a spot Grit varnish on a matte laminate, a Glitter spot varnish on a gloss laminate and a flood of Soft Touch varnish for an all-over smooth finish. All of these varnishes are available at S-OneLP and can be customized for any job. (Special thanks to Consolidated Label in Sanford, Fla., for this awesome print and varnishing job!)

We also reworked packaging for Amy’s Candy Bar and Savory Spice to show how flexible packaging can take the place of simple packaging that the brands were finishing with labels. We redesigned their looks, and had them printed on pre-laminated flexible packaging films in metallic and white for optimal results.

CL&D Graphics’ Digital Division in Hartland, Wis., used an HP Indigo 6800 to create these impressive new packages. They also helped us with a new print job for Boardwalk Foods’ Craft Beer Pretzels, using a customizable film that was reverse printed for the specialty brand. All of these flex-pack films are available at S-OneLP, as well.

Other Hot Topics

  • VerifyMe and Micro Focus joined our booth to demonstrate the very latest in security inks and product tracking. This demo station was jam-packed all day every day for curious converters who wanted to know more about packaging authentication and tracking!
  • We rolled out a new video for HP, featuring Michelman’s DigiGuard 901 OPV Strengthener for durable labels.
  • We launched LEVIA™ Green Clean solution to clean and restore HP Indigo rollers, approved by the HP Solutions Architects.

It was a fun and busy show! If you weren’t able to make it, or want more information on any of our products, services or partners, give us a call at 941-256-7900. We’ll see you next year at Labelexpo in Brussels!

Meet Us at Labelexpo 2018!

By

We’re excited to announce that S-One Labels & Packaging will be exhibiting at Labelexpo Americas 2018 later this month in Chicago. Be sure to swing by Booth #1414 to see printed examples, the latest products and exciting demonstrations.

Narrow-web label printers who are interested in breaking into flexible packaging printing will find inspiration for all their endeavors. In our display, we welcome several artisan food brands who partnered with us to enhance their branding through newly designed, modernized packaging. Their projects include primers, overprint varnishes, flexible packaging films and more — all available through S-OneLP.

Label printers can play a pivotal role in helping their customers — small, start-up, artisan brands — evolve their brands with packaging. We’ll show you several real-world examples and tell the stories behind these burgeoning brands. Plus, we’ll give you all the insider info on how we made it happen for them.

On Display in Booth 1414

S-OneLP will co-present the power of overt and covert security and authentication printing with the experts at VerifyMe. We’re showcasing state-of-the-art technology, paired with HP Indigo capabilities, allowing printers to offer the latest in security printing. You won’t want to miss this demonstration!

In the booth, we’ll break down all the materials and expertise behind short-run flexible packaging printing. We worked with some of your leading peers who have mastered this — and are boosting their bottom line with their new capabilities.

Other hot advancements in our space include cool, customizable coatings that really make labels pop — everything from gloss to soft touch to glitter from our partners at Kustom Koatings. Any brand owner knows it’s vital to have a strong label if they want to stand out from the crowd.

Plus, we’re launching a new Michelman product that allows label printers to create more durable labels (think: lawn mowers, chemicals, gas cans) as part of HP’s Pack Ready for Labels program, as well as an HP Indigo-specific roller cleaner that’s effective, easy to use and a favorite among the HP Solutions Architects.

We’ve got a “Fresh & Fast” theme that we’re building around the opportunities with digital label and flexible packaging printing. We’ll have several bold and vibrant examples printed on HP Indigo printers. We may even have some tasty samples from our featured brands.

You can also find us in the Ecovillage, where you’ll learn how waste from the show is converted into energy pellets. Check out how the packaging industry is evolving to become more sustainable and environmentally responsible — an endeavor that’s near and dear to us.
