Esko vision of Packaging Connected during Labelexpo Americas 2018

The label industry has continued to face the challenges of producing more labels faster—but in shorter runs. This has resulted in lead-time pressure and the growing complexity of workflows supporting the need for greater efficiencies.

At the center is the need for supply chain partners to help brand owners build engaging, omnichannel, go-to-market campaigns, with labeled products at the core of the workflow. It requires Esko’s seamless ‘Packaging Connected’ vision, linking Esko’s broad portfolio of label production technologies with a wide range of industry partners to assure ‘best-in-class’ solutions. This is no better exemplified than Esko’s presence at many booths at Labelexpo Americas 2018.

At booth #5202, Esko is on a stand with its Danaher sister companies X-Rite, Pantone and, for the first time, AVT. Esko is working together with them to integrate its automation and collaboration solutions with the X-Rite and Pantone color technology and AVT’s camera inspection solutions. The integrations are designed to preserve the digital flow of data across connected systems, addressing market demands for faster time to market and ‘Right First Time’ production in smaller lot sizes while taking cost and waste reduction into account.
However, in addition to its own booth, Esko solutions will be found in many more partner booths throughout the Labelexpo Americas aisles. And, and at the Labelexpo Automation Arena, the complete label production workflow will be running on the Esko Software platform, integrated with a CERM MIS.
