Xeikon Café - The latest trends

The latest trends in digital label and packaging printing could be seen at the Xeikon Café held at Antwerp on the 20-23 March 2018. It was an opportunity for Xeikon customers worldwide, to observe and learn from numerous printing production workshops, professionally organized and presented by 21 inspiring speakers. There were over 40 end-use applications demonstrating end-to-end digital production solutions from start to finish.

A demonstration on the Xeikon 3500 press showed the use of the Litholam process (normally printed using an offset press), using a roll-to-roll digital printing production method on MDV’s structured Kambrik paper, which was then applied to a corrugated board, and was later creased and die-cut to produce an attractive wine box. The combination of structured papers and anti-counterfeiting features, as can be seen on the box, give brands and local vineyards the opportunity to sell their products in the most optimal way.
