The China International Exhibition on Label Printing Technology 2017 (Sino-Label 2017) will take place March 1-3, 2017 at Hall 10.2-11.2, Area B, China Import and Export Fair Complex, in Guangzhou, PR China. The event provides opportunities for worldwide exhibitors to showcase top-notch label printing technologies.

According to a report from WiseGuyReports, due to the increasing demand for labels from China and India, the label market in Asia Pacific will grow from $12.412 billion in 2015 to US$18.306 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 6.69%. The Asian Labeling and Product Decoration Market Study 2015 by Alexander Watson Associates (AWA) also shows that Asia is the largest label market, where China contributes over half of the region’s demand, followed by India and Japan at 15% and 11%, respectively. Variable data printing has also seen an increase in worldwide production, covering 13% of produced labels.

Variable data printing is an important part of digital printing, which has seen significant improvement over the years and remained an industry focus. Digital printing enjoys short production cycle, high efficiency, reduced waste and low cost, and its features on variable data printing and on-demand printing could meet the rising demand for short run production and customization in the label printing market in recent years.

Numerous companies have joined the 2017 edition of Sino-Label. Professional exhibitors specializing in digital printing, such as Founder, Arojet, Trojanjet, Shield, Dugao Photo, Sonicjet and Brotech, will present a range of digital printing equipment and solutions. Che Fung Hong Kong, an agent of Xeikon, will also exhibit the new models of Xeikon presses onsite.

The show covers label printing machines, label printing materials, label finishing equipment and services, where the following exhibitors will be present: Omet, Haotian, Taiyo Kikai, Zhongte, Labellong, Source MTR, Weigang, Dowell, Wanjie, Ophter, Jingda, Chili, Caisheng, Hontec, BST, Nickel, Rhyguan, Luster, Zhongshan Fuzhou, Kurz, Xinshan, Soontomax and Shriro.

Founder will showcase its Founder EagleJet K330S, a variable data label printing solution specially designed for customized and anti-counterfeit labels. Positive feedback has been received since the release of its first model in 2014. It is suitable for printing materials such as paper, self-adhesive materials, metalized foil, PET, PVC, PE and PP. It could be applied to label printing, package printing and variable data printing, where beautiful printed products are produced at a low cost.

Brotech will show its new SDF-Digital Printed Label Converting & Finishing System, which features a semi-rotary printing unit specially designed for digital print finishing. Its “Flip of a Switch” technology provides instant changeover between full-rotary and semi-rotary print modes, and the machine allows quick changeovers for variable repeat lengths print jobs by changing the setup on the HMI touch screen quickly without changing the plate cylinder. This saves cost on plate cylinders and time consumed on changing tools.

TrojanJet specializes in providing digital press package solutions and high-speed inkjet technology. With the Industrial 4.0 era approaching, TrojanJet will continue to provide the most efficient services, with a major focus on developing industrial robots and new energy products and application, as well as integrating such technologies into digital printing. TrojanJet‘s exhibits include the machine models Trojan 2 and Trojan 3, as well as smart robots.

Che Fung will bring visitors the Xeikon 3000 series digital label printing and packaging printing presses. The Xeikon 3000 series presses are made for digital label printing, folding carton and packaging. With high quality and high productivity, the 3020 and 3050 models are the perfect entry level investments. The top-performing 3300 and 3500 models will also be exhibited. These presses could be used for tasks such as printing self-adhesive labels, anti-counterfeit labels, films and heat transfer labels, folding cartons and paper cups, making wine labels and wine packaging boxes.
