KBA-Metronic: Digital communication between man, machine and product is a central issue for the marking specialists at KBA-Metronic. Metronic marking systems with the code-M software module allow, among other things, the centralised administration of print jobs, the monitoring of entire marking lines and the integration of camera control systems. With the code-M data module, data from databases can be inserted into printed texts. Printing systems and fields are detected automatically, and the form of the imprints is user-definable. With the code-M data and code-M editor modules, users can create sophisticated text layouts themselves. For the first time, KBA-Metronic will also present the betaJETxenio. The tried and tested DOD inkjet system is highly versatile. The product portfolio with thermal, inkjet, laser and combined printer units covers current market requirements.

KBA-Sheetfed: In virtual presentations, KBA-Sheetfed will show the digital sheetfed press KBA VariJET 106, powered by Xerox for folding box printing. The KBA VariJET combines conventional printing and finishing technologies with digital inkjet printing. This hybrid press supports regional and campaign-specific versions of packages, value added and infotainment packages as well as database-aided sales campaigns. KBA will also be providing information about its flatbed and rotary stamping units.

KBA-Flexotecnica: For its new-generation CI flexo presses for flexible packaging materials, KBA-Flexotecnica focuses on migration-free printing with water-based inks, especially for food packaging. The new laminating machine Evolam, which allows the use of solvent-free adhesives, will also be presented.

KBA-Kammann: Digital inkjet printing is also gaining ground in the direct decoration of premium hollow bodies made of glass, plastic and metal. KBA-Kammann, the international market leader in screen, hot embossing and digital printing systems for decorating hollow glass bodies, will be showing this at the Interpack. The flexible Kammann systems allow the optimum configuration of applications to meet the diverse requirements of the various target markets and customers.
