The global label printing event Labelexpo Europe 2025 shines in Barcelon

From September 16th to 19th, 2025, Labelexpo Europe, known as the "Olympics of Label Printing", will grandly open at the Fira Gran Via exhibition center in Barcelona, Spain. As the world's largest and most professional event in the label and packaging printing industry, this exhibition has attracted over 35000 professional visitors and 630 exhibitors from 138 countries, becoming a core platform for promoting industry innovation and global cooperation. The relocation from Brussels to Barcelona not only marks an upgrade in the scale of the exhibition, but also demonstrates the deepening of its globalization strategy.

1、 Exhibition Highlights: Integration of Technological Innovation and Global Perspective

This exhibition is relocating from Brussels to Barcelona for the first time, thanks to its modern exhibition facilities, superior geographical location, and well-developed transportation network. Fira Gran Via, as one of the largest and most conveniently connected exhibition centers in Europe, provides an efficient communication environment for exhibitors and visitors. The exhibition covers the entire industry chain of label printing, including cutting-edge fields such as digital printing equipment, RFID solutions, environmentally friendly materials, and intelligent packaging technology, showcasing the latest achievements of the industry's transformation towards digitalization and sustainability.

2、 Technological Frontier: Innovation drives industry transformation

Digital printing technology has become a focus, and multiple companies have launched high-precision industrial printers and modular equipment that support multi DPI printing and functional expansion, meeting the diverse needs of logistics, retail, and other scenarios. For example, Chinese exhibitors showcased specialized printing family products covering industrial, desktop, and mobile printing scenarios, demonstrating their technological strength and global layout. In addition, the improvement of UV flexographic printing technology, bottomless paper printing technology, and the application of green materials highlight the dual improvement of environmental protection and efficiency, promoting the industry's low-carbon development. The Sustainable Development Zone showcases circular economy solutions in response to the global trend of carbon reduction.

3、 Global Cooperation: Connecting Markets and Opportunities

The exhibition has built a commercial bridge for multinational enterprises and attracted leading exhibitors from China, Japan, Germany and other places. Through technical seminars, new product launches, and industry forums, participants delve into market trends and promote technology sharing and strategic cooperation. For example, Chinese companies showcased their specialized printing family products, covering industrial, desktop, and mobile printing scenarios, demonstrating their technological strength and global layout.

4、 Simultaneous activity: Deepening industry influence

During the exhibition, a variety of supporting activities were held, including innovative technology awards, roundtable dialogues, and practical training, focusing on hot topics such as digital skills and supply chain optimization. These activities not only enhance industry cohesion, but also provide key channels for enterprises to expand into overseas markets.

5、 Future outlook: Continuously leading the industry trend

The successful hosting of Labelexpo Europe 2025 has solidified its position as a trendsetter in the global label printing industry. With the return of the 2027 exhibition to Barcelona, this platform will continue to promote technological innovation and international cooperation, helping enterprises seize opportunities for digital transformation and co create the future of the industry.

2、 Technological Frontier: Innovation drives industry transformation

2.1 Improvement of UV flexographic printing process

The UV flexographic printing process has been further improved at this exhibition. By optimizing the ink formula and printing parameters, UV flexographic printing technology can achieve higher printing quality and faster printing speed. For example, a certain company showcased a flexographic printer using a new type of UV ink, which has better adhesion and wear resistance, while reducing VOC emissions and meeting environmental requirements. In addition, the flexographic printer also adopts an intelligent control system that can automatically adjust printing parameters to ensure the stability of printing quality.

2.2 Application of Paperless Printing Technology

Paperless printing technology is another important innovation at this exhibition. Traditional label printing requires backing paper as support, which not only increases costs but also generates a large amount of waste paper. The bottomless paper printing technology achieves printing without a backing paper through special print heads and materials, greatly reducing the generation of waste paper. For example, a certain company showcased a paperless printer that uses advanced inkjet technology to directly print on various materials, not only improving production efficiency but also reducing costs.

2.3 Green Materials and Circular Economy Solutions

The Sustainable Development Zone showcases circular economy solutions in response to the global trend of carbon reduction. Multiple companies showcased their research and development of green materials and recycling technologies, such as label materials using biobased materials and recyclable packaging materials. These technologies not only reduce their impact on the environment, but also create new economic growth points for businesses. For example, a company has launched a label material made from corn starch, which can be completely degraded in natural environments while maintaining good printing performance and durability.
