More than 550 companies visited the Hybrid Software Group stand for product demos during the four days of Labelexpo, and more than 30 customers placed orders for packaging workflow and editing software, with an order value of more than EUR 1.5 million.

Hybrid Software has announced one of the most successful Labelexpo Europe shows in its history. 

Hybrid Software shared the stand with group companies ColorLogic, Global Graphics Software, Meteor Inkjet, and Xitron, delivering the group’s value proposition: “The Heart of Industrial Printing”.

Labelexpo also marked the successful launch of Global Graphics’ SmartDFE, which is claimed to be the fastest available Digital Front End (DFE) for digital printing of labels and packaging. 

SmartDFE is built entirely with technology from all Hybrid Software companies and includes fast rasterization from Harlequin Direct, spot colour matching for CMYK and extended gamut digital presses from ColorLogic, as well as workflow automation tools adapted from Hybrid’s CloudFlow software and file preparation and VDP tools based on PACKZ. SmartDFE and Xitron’s Navigator DFE were displayed at several partner booths at Labelexpo.

Hybrid Software chairman Guido Van der Schueren commented, “This was my sixteenth appearance at Labelexpo in Brussels, one of the most important events for our industry. 

“Although I look forward to the next incarnation of Labelexpo Europe in Barcelona, I will always remember the Brussels exhibitions fondly and am very pleased that the final Brussels show was such a big success for Hybrid Software and our customers.”
