IMA Labeling at Interpack 2026
At Interpack 2026, IMA Labeling turns labeling into a strategic lever for performance and integration within the massive IMA Group Hall 17 hub.
Full electric wipe on applicator
FlexiMate eBlade is a high-performance print & apply solution designed to deliver speed, stability and efficiency in high-throughput environments.
Its wipe-on technology, combined with a buffered labeling process, ensures continuous operation by separating printing from application.
Labels are always ready when needed, enabling smooth and reliable performance even at variable line speeds.
This makes eBlade the ideal solution for high-speed applications where process stability matters more than real-time printing.
Modular by design, it integrates seamlessly into different production layouts, adapting to a wide range of applications.
A label buffer ensures continuous availability between printing and application.
Maintaining stable performance even at variable production speeds.
Designed for fast and efficient labeling on moving products. Delivering reliable performance in high-throughput environments.
Optimized liner path ensures accurate and consistent label dispensing.
Improving application reliability and reducing interruptions.
Printing and application are managed in a stable and controlled sequence.
Ensuring consistent results without the need for real-time synchronization.
