Narrow web ink specialist Pulse is making print simple at Labelexpo Europe 2025, as it challenges flexo printers to rethink how they work and shows solutions that turn production bottlenecks into revenue generators.
Labelexpo Europe 2025 takes place 16-19 September at Fira Gran Via in Barcelona, Spain. Across the four days of the show on Stand 3G93, Pulse will highlight the changes and steps flexo label printers must implement to maximize throughput and increase their profits.
Pulse showcases Ink, coating, and varnish solutions that unblock changeover bottlenecks and unlock huge improvements in performance, with the most sustainable print process presented at the show.
These include:
PureTone inks – High-strength, single-pigment formulations that reduce errors and waste and make printing right first time a reality
Bespoke ink mixing – Hit your Delta E target and colour match any job, on any press, at any location – all in record time.
Monolox – The revolutionary fixed anilox printing system for spot colours that standardises anilox selection, reduces the burden of changeovers, and increases press utilisation, and reduces waste.
Pulse managing director Gary Seward says, “Our industry-leading solutions are already helping printers all over the world produce the highest quality work in the most efficient and profitable way. From the UK and into Europe, all the way to Australia, high strength UV flexo inks are creating bold and striking packaging, as rough-touch and soft feel varnishes result in labels that are as good to hold as they are to look at.
“Pulse has focused on making print simple and optimizing print efficiency for 20 years and PureTone and Monolox is and was the first of its kind in the market. Other ink companies are eventually waking up to this and only now thinking about how their inks are being used and how they slow the customers down with old fashioned strategies and basic ink design.
“At the same time, pressrooms globally are directly benefiting from solutions that maximize press utilization and are gifting back hundreds of production hours each year, per press.
“When you take all of this into account, there are highly compelling reasons for printers to connect with the Pulse team at Labelexpo Europe 2025 and find out how we can improve performance, profitability, and above all else, throughput.”
Daily clinics at 11.30am and 2.30pm on Stand 3G93 will lay bare the reality of ignoring bottlenecks and overlooking the impact of constraints on throughput and ultimately, profitability. These 20-minute sessions will help printers gain a deeper understanding of what this means directly for their business and why they must act now to focus on what matters in production, that is Right First Time (RFT) and jobs that are delivered On Time In Full. Gary will share real experiences gained at his company and how the right measurements create the right behaviors and ultimately results.
Gary continues, “With our presence at Labelexpo Europe 2025, we are helping label printers fulfil their potential and maximise their capacity. Label printers are being squeezed from all sides, are having their margins shaved, and are being asked by customers for increasingly faster production of smaller orders.
“Whilst it is easy to think that the way to meet these challenges is to invest in faster and wider flexo presses, digital print engines, and faster finishing lines that needed to keep up with them, the reality is that flexo printers have spare capacity that they can unlock from their existing machinery. We want to give them the keys to unlock that potential.
“Only by having overview of your total production process and understanding where the bottlenecks are can you begin to embrace the opportunity. We are an ink manufacturer and our solutions address the changeover bottleneck. However, the goal overall at Labelexpo Europe 2025 is to open the industry’s eyes to the possibilities, move legacy mindsets away from Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), and put flexo printers on a path to profitable production and truly successful business grounded in RFT and OTIF.”
Only when you focus on your slowest process will you truly understand the only option is the Monolox way!
Gary concludes, “We look forward to welcoming printers onto Stand 3G93 at Labelexpo Europe 2025 who want to understand how they can make their businesses more profitable, as well as meeting customers we are already partnered with and helping them stay at the forefront of the label and packaging industry.”
