FOCUS LABEL MACHINERY: DRIVING SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION IN HYBRID LABEL PRINTING
As the label printing industry evolves, sustainability and flexibility have become top priorities for converters worldwide. Focus Label Machinery Ltd, a UK-based leader with over 40 years of expertise, is at the forefront of this transformation— delivering hybrid solutions that combine cutting-edge technology with eco-conscious practices.
Hybrid Printing for Maximum Versatility Focus Label Machinery’ s hybrid platforms, such as the DFlex Digital Hybrid Press, integrate high-speed inkjet technology with traditional flexographic units. This configuration allows converters to produce short runs, variable data, and complex designs while incorporating inline finishing— all in a single pass. By merging digital and flexo, printers can reduce waste, minimize setup times, and achieve exceptional print quality across diverse substrates.
Sustainable Curing: UV / LED and Water-Based Options One of the most significant advancements in Focus’ s presses is the adoption of UV / LED curing systems. Unlike conventional mercury lamps, LED curing consumes less energy, generates minimal heat, and offers instant on / off functionality— reducing power usage and extending lamp life. This not only lowers operational costs but also supports sustainability goals by cutting carbon emissions.
For converters seeking an even greener approach, Focus now offers a DFlex Water-Based Digital Hybrid system. These inks eliminate harmful solvents, reduce VOC emissions, and comply with stringent environmental regulations. Combined with energy-efficient drying technology, water-based solutions deliver vibrant colours while meeting the growing demand for eco-friendly labels and www packaging
