THE FUTURE OF LABEL EMBELLISHMENT

At Labelexpo Europe 2025, SPGPrints reaffirmed its position as a global leader in label-embellishment technology. The company unveiled its cornerstone of high-performance, rotary-screen printing. This comprises firstly, RotaPlate and RotaMesh screens, secondly, the Marble unit and thirdly, the Titanium and Yttrium prepress systems.

This ‘product triangle’ represents SPGPrints’ holistic approach to label embellishment. It offers exceptional quality, efficiency and flexibility from screen creation to final print. There is an increasing demand for premium packaging and eye-catching label effects. In this field, SPGPrints is enabling converters to meet brand owners’ expectations, while future-proofing their operations.

At the heart of SPGPrints’ embellishment offering is its industry-leading rotary screens – RotaPlate and RotaMesh. These screens are engineered to deliver exceptional print quality, durability and versatility across a wide range of applications. These include tactile varnishes, metallic effects, opaque whites and scratch-off features.

“Marble enables converters to add striking embellishments with ease”

The newly introduced RotaPlate Wide responds to the growing trend of wider printing presses. It has been designed specifically for high-productivity environments to ensure consistent performance and seamless integration with modern label-production lines. Whether converters prioritise speed, stability or fine detail, SPGPrints’ screen portfolio offers a solution.

The star of SPGPrints’ showcase at Labelexpo Europe 2025 was the launch of the new Marble RSI unit. This is a next-generation rotary screen-integration system designed to elevate label printing to new heights.

Marble enables converters to add striking embellishments with ease. These can include bold metallics, deep opaques, tactile finishes and even scratch-off features. Its modular design allows seamless integration into existing flexo, offset or digital presses. As a result, flexibility can be achieved without compromising speed or quality.

Built for the future, the latest version of Marble is engineered to support evolving market demands and sustainability goals. It delivers rapid setup, reliable performance and economical production. These factors make it an ideal choice for converters looking to differentiate their offerings in a competitive market.

Completing the triangle is SPGPrints’ cutting-edge prepress technology – the Titanium and Yttrium systems. These laser-imaging solutions are designed to deliver unmatched precision and productivity in screen and plate preparation.

The Titanium system is a multifunctional computer-to-plate (CTP) solution equipped with a multi-beam fibre diode laser system. It can ablate black masks and directly expose UV-sensitive materials. This eliminates the need for offline exposure thanks to its inline UV-LED system. The result is faster turnaround times and reduced waste.

For converters requiring ultra-high precision – especially in printed electronics or security labels – the Yttrium system offers advanced capabilities tailored to demanding applications. Together, Titanium and Yttrium ensure that every screen or plate is imaged with perfect consistency, enabling flawless print results on press.

SPGPrints’ product triangle is more than a collection of technologies. It is a unified vision for the future of label embellishment. SPGPrints combines best-in-class screens, a revolutionary printing unit and high-precision prepress systems. Consequently, converters are empowered to deliver premium labels that attract consumers and meet the highest brand standards.

Tom Overgoor, Product Manager Industrial for SPGPrints says, “Our goal is to provide a complete solution that simplifies the embellishment process while maximising creative potential.” He continues, “With RotaPlate and RotaMesh, Marble and Titanium/Yttrium, we’re giving converters the tools they need to innovate, grow and stay ahead.”

As the label industry continues to evolve, SPGPrints remains committed to driving innovation and supporting its customers. The enthusiastic reception of the Marble unit at Labelexpo Europe 2025 underscores the market’s appetite for advanced embellishment solutions. SPGPrints’ ‘product triangle’ offers converters the opportunity to enhance their label offerings and streamline workflows.
