Comexi
One of the main highlights is the official debut of the new Comexi F4 Origin, a fully renewed generation of iconic compact flexographic press.

Comexi, a global name in flexible packaging printing and converting solutions, is set to make a significant impact at Labelexpo Europe 2025, taking place from 16 to 19 September in Barcelona. From stand 5G73, the company will unveil a renewed technological offering that claims to redefine the boundaries of label printing and converting—faster, more personalized, and more sustainable.

Comexi is the only company in the sector to offer flexible packaging and label printing solutions in digital, offset, and flexography, tailoring technologies to each customer’s specific needs. 

At the heart of this transformation is the new Comexi D4 digital press, designed to unleash unrestricted creativity. This solution, ideal for short runs and fully customized designs, eliminates the need for plates and enables real-time design changes, drastically reducing time to market. Its versatility redefines label production for brands that demand immediacy and differentiation. 

Another key innovation is the Digiflex digital press, specializing in variable code printing for critical applications such as traceability, brand protection, and advanced personalization with QR or data matrix codes. It is a strategic tool for brands seeking smart, secure consumer engagement. 

Comexi also reinforces its leadership in central drum offset printing with the Comexi CI Offset evolutiona perfect solution for multiple SKUs and short runs that combines outstanding quality with a strong environmental commitment. The technology reduces solvent use and minimizes emissions, providing a highly sustainable alternative for an increasingly demanding market. 

In the field of slitting, Comexi will showcase its turret slitter rewinders S1DT and S2DT, capable of slitting reels from 30 mm and integrating with fully automated end-of-line systems. These solutions maximize productivity and meet the growing need for efficiency and precision in label converting. 

New generation of compact flexographic presses 

Innovation continues with the premiere of the Comexi F4 Origin, the fourth generation of an iconic model introduced in 2010. Since then, Comexi has sold over 100 units of the F4 in its previous three versions, cementing its place as one of the most successful compact presses on the market. This new version maintains the essence of its predecessors—compact format, agility, and versatility—but takes a qualitative leap in performance, efficiency, and sustainability.

Designed for flexible small-format productions, the new F4 Origin now reaches speeds of up to 400 m/min and a maximum width of 1,120 mm, thanks to a fully reinforced mechanical structure. It incorporates the GeniusRun system to eliminate bouncing, ensuring exceptional print quality even at minimum formats of 240 mm. 

Additionally, the GeniusDry drying system has been optimized to work with both solvent based and water-based inks, further supporting sustainability. This redesigned system also brings major energy efficiency improvements by minimizing temperature loss and optimizing airflow between colors to reduce circulating air volume. 

In line with Comexi’s more advanced models such as the F2 Origin and F1 Evolution, the F4 Origin now integrates the control console into the machine, reducing the footprint and improving usability. The upper walkway and access points have also been completely redesigned, significantly enhancing ergonomicsmaking it easier for operators to access the drying tunnel, central drum, video system, and threading, while also facilitating maintenance. 

This new generation is ideal not only for short-run flexible packaging but also for the label sector, whose production needs often align with flexographic technologies. Its 240 mm minimum format enables jobs to be printed without duplicating plates, and its compact size makes it a perfect choice for label printers looking to expand into flexible packaging. With this machine, it’s possible to transition from printing a label for a glass or PET bottle to formats such as recyclable monomaterial stand-up pouches, opening up new market opportunities for brands focused on sustainability and diversification. 

Networking and live demonstrations 

To experience all these solutions firsthand, Comexi invites its customers to visit its Technological Center at headquarters in Girona on September 15 . The company will host a special presentation of the F1 Evolution, its most advanced flexo press. Three live demos will showcase the machine’s capabilities: a solventless job printed at maximum speed with no bounce, a high-definition design using water-based inks, and a third demo with electron beam technology—highlighting how innovation and sustainability go hand in hand.
