Comexi will unveil a renewed technological offering for label printing and converting. At the heart of this transformation is the new Comexi D4 digital press, designed to unleash unrestricted creativity. This solution, ideal for short runs and fully customised designs, eliminates the need for plates and enables real-time design changes, drastically reducing time to market. Its versatility redefines label production for brands that demand immediacy and differentiation.
The company will exhibit at LabelExpo Europe 2025, taking place from September 16 to 19 in Barcelona. Another key innovation is the Digiflex digital press, specialising in variable code printing for critical applications such as traceability, brand protection, and advanced personalisation with QR or data matrix codes. It is a strategic tool for brands seeking smart, secure consumer engagement.
The Comexi CI Offset evolution is a perfect solution for multiple SKUs and short runs that combines outstanding quality with a strong environmental commitment. The technology reduces solvent use and minimises emissions, providing a highly sustainable alternative for an increasingly demanding market.
In the field of slitting, Comexi will showcase its turret slitter rewinders S1DT and S2DT, capable of slitting reels from 30mm and integrating with fully automated end-of-line systems. These solutions maximise productivity and meet the growing need for efficiency and precision in label converting.
F4 Origin
Innovation continues with the premiere of the Comexi F4 Origin, the fourth generation of an iconic model introduced in 2010. This new version maintains the essence of its predecessors such as compact format, agility, and versatility, but takes a qualitative leap in performance, efficiency, and sustainability.
Designed for flexible small-format productions, the new F4 Origin now reaches speeds of up to 400m/min and a maximum width of 1120mm, thanks to a fully reinforced mechanical structure. It incorporates the GeniusRun system to eliminate bouncing, ensuring exceptional print quality even at minimum formats of 240mm.
Additionally, the GeniusDry drying system has been optimised to work with both solvent-based and water-based inks, further supporting sustainability. This redesigned system also brings major energy efficiency improvements by minimising temperature loss and optimising airflow between colours to reduce circulating air volume.
In line with Comexi’s more advanced models such as the F2 Origin and F1 Evolution, the F4 Origin now integrates the control console into the machine, reducing the footprint and improving usability. The upper walkway and access points have also been completely redesigned, significantly enhancing ergonomics and making it easier for operators to access the drying tunnel, central drum, video system, and threading, while also facilitating maintenance.
This new generation is ideal not only for short-run flexible packaging but also for the label sector, whose production needs often align with flexographic technologies. Its 240mm minimum format enables jobs to be printed without duplicating plates, and its compact size makes it a perfect choice for label printers looking to expand into flexible packaging. With this machine, it’s possible to transition from printing a label for a glass or PET bottle to formats such as recyclable monomaterial stand-up pouches, opening up new market opportunities for brands focused on sustainability and diversification.
