Visitors will be able to discuss Konica Minolta’s AccurioShine embellishment solutions, AccurioPress cutsheet devices and AccurioLabel digital label presses, including the recently launched AccurioLabel 231.
Introduced in September, the AccurioLabel 231 is aimed at small and medium-sized label converters seeking to increase production capacity while reducing operator intervention. Optional automation through the Intelligent Quality Optimizer (IQ) provides real-time calibration and colour monitoring, helping maintain consistency and minimise waste.
The company will also highlight the AccurioLabel 400, which incorporates white toner capability for printing on transparent and coloured substrates, alongside its embellishment technologies for producing foiling and varnishing effects.
Konica Minolta reports that more than 2000 AccurioLabel presses have been installed worldwide, reflecting growing demand for digital label production. Recent UK sales include Handy Labels, which became the first UK customer to order the AccurioLabel 231.
Alongside its equipment portfolio, Konica Minolta’s specialists will discuss workflow integration, operational efficiency and the commercial considerations involved in adopting digital label production. The company will also explore how commercial printers can diversify into packaging and labels.
Malcolm Smith, category manager – professional print at Konica Minolta Business Solutions (UK), commented: “The UK Packaging Expo is a fantastic opportunity for businesses to explore how digital print can elevate their offering. We’ll be discussing the full potential of our embellishment, cutsheet and labels portfolio and demonstrating how accessible, profitable and high‑quality digital printing has become. We look forward to meeting visitors in Liverpool and helping them discover how digital labels can drive growth, efficiency and a competitive advantage.”
