Creed Engineers showcases a slew of products at Labelexpo

The AB Graphic’s Omega HSR on display was a full slitter rewinder with fly eye vision, a 100% defect detection system, while the online inkjet system from Vinsak can among other things do variable 2D barcoding. We have already installed our first inkjet system at Hyderabad, said Bajaj. It is capable of print labels with mono as well as colour barcoding, numbering, any sequencial variable data numbering etc. “The pharma industry is very soon going to make it mandatory to put a QR code on every medicine pack to fight conterfeiting. This is a solution for that. The same machine can be upgraded to full colour. If you want to do short run digital label production, you can do it in four-colour as well,” he said.

 

Bajaj is also excited about the launch of a direct laser engraving machine. “You can burn the image on the rubber plate, which is not photosensitive, so handling is not an issue.” According to Bajaj, these rubber plates are quicker to make and does not use chemicals.

 

“It’s eco-friendly, has a longer storage life and is very durable,” he said.

 

Bajaj said that the label market is growing, but for the printers to take advantage, they have to look at the world as a market place. “Specialise in few niche products and just go global,” was his advice to the label printers.
