IBIS Integrated Bindery Systems will use the Hunkeler Innovation Days (HID) in Lucerne, Switzerland, from 24 to 27 February 2025 to present its new Smart Label Binder, which is designed to set new industry standards in label production.
The new IBIS Smart Label Binder, a variant of the IBIS Smart Binder, has been optimised for the production of extended content labels. During the Hunkeler Innovation Days, the Smart Label Binder will be on display at the SCREEN stand in Hall 2, Stand P7.
The binder was developed by IBIS following consultations with major label manufacturers and incorporates technological innovations. It will be fed by a Hunkeler reel unwinder and slitter with SCREEN-printed reels during the four-day HID trade fair.
John Cracknell, Managing Director of IBIS, said: ‘With the global pharmaceutical labelling market expected to reach over £9 billion by 2025 and continuing to grow strongly with an expected annual growth of more than 11%, we are confident that digitally printed ECLs (Extended Content Labels) will be an increasing demand in the future. As a market-leading integration partner, we can’t wait to be at Hunkeler Innovation Days to demonstrate connectivity, automation and efficiency and to reveal further details and unique advances of our new smart label binder. At HID 2025, we will be making print connections on the SCREEN stand, but we are also proud of all the printer suppliers we work with around the world to offer our world-renowned IBIS Smart binder machine programme. Be sure to visit us in Lucerne!’
