While Infigo provides solutions to a range of print sectors, over the last 18 months we have been particularly focussed on the labels industry, developing integrations with two of the sector’s leading MIS providers.

 

So, don’t be surprised if you see one of the team pop up at one of our partners’ stands. You’ll find CERM on Booth: 437, HP at Booth: 3429 & 3226, Label Traxx at Booth: 5920, A B Graphic International at Booths: 3223, 3240, 54 & 6786, Esko at Booth: 335, Fujifilm at Booth: 3623, HYBRID Software at Booth: 3015, eProductivity Software (ePS) at Booth: 1417, TLMI at Booth: 99, Karlville at Booth: 6882 and Label & Narrow Web at Booth: 120.

 

CERM Booth: 437

 

Alex will be showing off our ground-breaking Connect: CERM module, that has already caused significant waves in the European labels market and even bagged a Digital Packaging Summit Award for Best Showcase Presentation, in Florida last November.

 

The Connect: CERM integration, which is tailored to the labels and packing industry, brings together Infigo’s e-commerce and personalisation prowess with CERM’s estimating, workflow and job management expertise to provide a complete package for label converters.

 

We’re going to be demonstrating this powerful integration at our own booth (5420), but you can also visit our friends at CERM themselves at Booth: 437.

 

Alex said on the integration: “The solution enables converters to spin-up a branded Infigo storefront, quickly and easily, using drag and drop CMS tools and without any previous design experience required.

 

“They can then easily offer their customers with templated designs or file-upload products, where the customer is presented with live, real-time, and most importantly, accurate costs of the jobs they have ordered – bringing their estimates and products hidden in the depths of CERM, to the finger-tips of the customer.”

 

Label Traxx Booth: 5920

 

The team will also be revealing our brand new integration with Label Traxx, an exclusive reveal for Labelexpo Americas this year in Chicago. With over three decades of expertise and a global customer base exceeding 500, Label Traxx stands as a premier MIS/ERP solution in the labels and flexible packaging markets. Their robust MIS system provides comprehensive tools to streamline operations and enhance efficiency.

 

The Connect: Label Traxx module ensures seamless order processing and status updates between the Infigo and Label Traxx platforms. This powerful integration allows orders to flow effortlessly into the Label Traxx MIS and receive shipped status updates back, creating a cohesive and efficient workflow.

 

This is another integration we’re going to be showing off from our own booth (5420), but make sure you visit our friends at Label Traxx themselves at Booth: 5920.

 

Alex said on the partnership: “The label industry presents unique challenges, and Label Traxx’s expertise in managing complex pricing and recurring orders with varying designs makes them an invaluable partner.

 

“By focusing on our core strengths and collaborating with experts like Label Traxx, we can continue to develop solutions that enable those in the labels industry to reduce costs and develop new revenue streams.

 

“With both integrations, artwork files are pre-flighted when they are uploaded to the Infigo storefront, so the user is alerted to any potential issues in real time before they commit to the job.

 

“And because of the e-commerce capabilities, you can take payment for the order upfront, before it is confirmed. Infigo then hands over the data to the respective MIS so that all estimates, products and jobs flow seamlessly into one centralised place.”

 

HP Booth: 3429 & 3226

 

Following on from our roaring success as HP’s exclusive web-to-print partner, during drupa Düsseldorf, Germany, in May, in which we utilised AI face-swap technology to transform attendees into their very own superhero, demand has been overwhelming to feature the technology outside of Europe. Therefore, ‘HP’s Heroes’ will be making an appearance at this years Labelexpo Americas, Chicago.

 

To really demonstrate the benefits of teaming up with the best workflow partners the print industry has to offer, we will transform you into the superhero of your choice in a demonstration that combines the latest AI filter technology with an entirely automated workflow.

 

The workflow begins with a simple selfie and ends with you as a superhero featured on your very own label.

 

Once your design has been finalised, you will be able to view from all angles, thanks to our state-of-the-art 3D preview feature, complete with any embellishments, then once placed, the order will then be passed onto the next stage of the workflow for batching and ganging, then passed through to our friends at HP who will print off your personalised product on their revolutionary Indigo 6K Digital Press, finished by our friends at AB Graphic International (Booth: 3223, 3240, 54 & 6786)

 

This exciting feature will not only be accessible to attendees of Infigo Booth: 5420, but make sure you stop-by HP at booths 3429 & 3226, too.

 

A B Graphic International Booth: 3223, 3240, 54 & 6786

 

Our friends at A B Graphics International (ABG) assemble, once again, for the HP Heroes demonstration, where after printing, via HP’s Indigo 6K Digital Press, orders will then sent to ABG DigiJet for embellishment, allowing attendees to see first-hand, how their module gives an inline or offline fully digital system, allowing for multiple processes in one pass, including spot varnishing, cold foiling and tactile screen effect on any size of print run, all with no tooling.

 

Esko Booth: 335

 

Esko is a global provider of integrated software and hardware solutions that accelerate the go-to-market process of packaged goods.

 

Some attendees may have bumped into Douglas already this year, at EskoWorld 2024, Texas, but for those who didn’t, make sure you stop by both Infigo Booth: 5420 AND Esko Booth: 335, where visitors can discover how each solution combined can enable users to streamline workflows, by automating processes and offering personalisation for labels and packaging businesses at scale.

The partnership enabled Fujifilm to provide customers with an extensive web-to-print offering alongside the Jet Press FP790, Fujifilm’s inkjet press for flexible packaging. 

 

HYBRID Software Booth: 3015

 

Having worked on client projects together, and also as members of influential label trade organisations FINAT in Europe, and TLMI in the US and Canada, Infigo and HYBRID realised that they had a lot of common ground and officially joined forces in February 2023, having appeared at a number of events, both online and in-person, since.
