Digital Embellishment Trail

See live demonstrations from experts on site on digital embellishment can transform a converting business.

After digital printing, digital embellishment will be the next big game changer for label converters and package printers.

Digital embellishment means replacing analogue coating, decoration and converting processes with digital. This can range from simply replacing a flexo varnish plate with an inkjet-applied varnish, to digital foiling, digitally applied tactile effects, simulated embossing/debossing and laser diecutting - all fully variable with on-the-fly job change and no tooling.

The Digital Embellishment trail at Labelexpo Americas 2022 will enable attendees to explore the full range of digital decoration options, both stand-alone and inline, with live demonstrations, sample packs and experts on site to discuss how digital embellishment can transform a converting business.

See the latest state of the art in areas such as

  • high build inkjet varnishing,
  • digital metalization and
  • laser die cutting.

Each participating company will have samples available.

Demo times

Throughout the three days of the show, so you can explore the trail at your leisure.

Free to attend for all Labelexpo Americas 2022 registered visitors.
