At LOUPE Americas 2026, LemuGroup has demonstrated its ability to address product diversity through a broad range of specialized solutions operating live throughout the show.
Visitors have enjoyed the opportunity to see technologies for digital finishing, diecutting, automatic rewinding, RFID inlay insertion and inspection in action at LemuGroup’s Booth 628. LemuGroup’s participation offes attendees the chance to explore different label production solutions and discuss their specific converting requirements with the company’s technical and sales specialists.
LemuGroup has showcased three live production demonstrations built around four complementary technologies: the MI 350 Inkjet Digital, the modular BOSS finishing line paired with the GTU-26 automatic turret rewinder, and the RDX RFID Inserter. Together, they address several of the areas with the greatest growth potential in today’s label market: digital embellishment, efficient single-pass finishing, automated roll production and RFID-enabled labels.
The MI 350 Inkjet Digital is designed to create high-impact digital embellishments. Its on-demand varnish jetting system can produce raised visual and tactile effects, including high-build finishes and Braille marking, without the screens required for conventional flatbed screen printing. The system can operate independently or inline with the MA 350+ finishing and embellishment machine, giving converters a flexible way to customize products and switch quickly between jobs.
Featuring two rows of XAAR printheads, each comprising five units, it combines uniform ink application with the precision needed to consistently reproduce premium finishes.
For converters looking to integrate multiple finishing stages, the BOSS provides a fully servo-driven, modular platform for single-pass label converting. Its configuration can combine web control, semi-rotary diecutting, inspection, slitting and rewinding according to the requirements of each application. A quick-load diecutting system helps accelerate job changeovers, while its modular architecture makes it easy to add customized automation and integration options as customers’ production needs evolve.
At the show, the BOSS is configured with two diecutting units and operates alongside the GTU-26, a glueless automatic turret rewinder developed to produce finished label rolls. Rather than using additional adhesive when rewinding begins, the GTU-26 employs a controlled transverse cut that helps protect the label’s printed surface. Its four-shaft, servo-driven turret, closed-loop tension control and speeds of up to 820 fpm support consistent roll production in both inline and standalone configurations. Compatibility with a wide variety of substrates, together with an option for linerless applications, further expands its range of uses.
The third demonstration focuses on the RDX RFID Inserter. This compact, standalone system inserts, programs, verifies and edits RFID inlays in a single pass while also offering slitting capabilities. Its vacuum placement system achieves positioning accuracy of ±1 mm, while real-time validation checks both the antenna and the integrated circuit. When RFID job volumes are lower, the machine can continue delivering value as a slitter-rewinder. This versatility gives converters a practical way to enter or expand smart label production without dedicating floor space to a single-purpose machine.
