Shanghai Spande is all set for a big showcase at Labelexpo Europe 2025 in Barcelona with an exhibition space of nearly 1,000 square meters, representing the biggest stand at the show – underlining its commitment to innovation, excellence, and delivering high-performance printing solutions to the global packaging and labeling industry.
At Hall 3 Booth E101 and 107, Spande will showcase three flagship flexo press lines – S7 Flexo Press (fifth generation), S5 Hybrid press, and AC series mid-wide web production line.
The S7 flexo (fifth generation) press is engineered for premium label and flexible packaging applications. It features eight servo systems per printing unit, fully automatic pressure setting, and intelligent visual registration systems. At Labelexpo, Spande will showcase a 450mm-wide, 8-color configuration featuring dual die-cutting units, full LED UV, hot air-drying systems, and one-touch quick-changeover capabilities.
The S5 hybrid press is designed for the mid-range segment and offers a fully independent drive system with gearless printing cylinders. The 12-color hybrid line will showcase a combination of flexo with LED-UV inkjet, along with lamination, cold foil, and other high-demand processes to highlight its versatility in fast, high-quality production.
Built for speed and flexibility, the AC series mid-wide web production line operates at 250 meters per minute across 700 mm and 800 mm web widths. With nine servo motors per station, it supports substrates from 12 to 800 microns, including films, cartons, self-adhesive, and aluminum-coated materials. Beyond roll-to-roll, it also enables roll-to-final-package workflows with in-line finishing—embossing, creasing, die-cutting, stripping, inspection, sorting, and stacking.
First Spande S7 Installation
For the Indian market, Labelexpo 2025 will mark a milestone. One of the showcased flagship presses, the Spande S7, will make its way to India for the very first time. After the show, the press will be installed at Citrus Packaging, Hyderabad—becoming the first-ever installation of the Spande S7 Flexo line in India.
As the official distributors of Spande in India, Provin Technos facilitated this installation, bringing world-class flexo technology to Indian converters. The S7’s advanced automation and premium-quality output will open new benchmarks for performance and productivity in the country’s label and flexible packaging industry.
