IBIS Integrated Bindery Systems will be using Hunkeler Innovation Days (HID) in Lucerne, Switzerland, from 24-27 February 2025 to unveil a unique Smart Label-binder that will set new industry standards in label production.
The new IBIS Smart Label-binder, a variant of IBIS’s well-established Smart-binder, has been optimized to produce ‘Extended Content’ Labels (ECLs). During HID, the Smart Label-binder will produce Pharma ECLs using lightweight (45gsm) ‘OP medical’ printed stock and IBIS’s advanced ‘ISG’ glue-binding technology.
The Smart Label-Binder will be running on the Screen stand at HID in Hall 2, Stand P7.
The IBIS Smart Label-binder has been developed by IBIS following consultations with major label company manufacturers and includes world-first technology advancements. It will be fed from a Hunkeler roll-unwinder and web-cutter using Screen-printed rolls during the four days of the HID show.
John Cracknell, managing director of IBIS, said, “With market expectations of a continued sharp growth path for the global pharmaceutical labeling market that is expected to be in excess of £9 billion in 2025 with anticipated year-on-year growth of more than11%, we are confident that digitally-printed ECLs (extended content labels) will be an increasing future demand.
“As a market-leading integration partner, we can’t wait to be at Hunkeler Innovation Days to demonstrate connection, automation and efficiency and reveal more details and unique advances of our new Smart Label-binder. At this HID 2025 we are powering print connections on the Screen stand but we are proud of all the printer suppliers we work with globally to provide our world-renowned IBIS Smart-binder machine range. Make sure you visit us in Lucerne!”
