Domino and Grafotronic join forces for Labelexpo hybrid printing showcase

Packaging Solutions

Domino Printing Sciences and Grafotronic have unveilled a collaborative showcase under the theme ‘We are hybrid’, at Labelexpo Europe 2025. This live demonstration reflects the brands’ shared values of expertise, ambition, and collaboration, presenting a fully integrated hybrid label printing and finishing solution designed to meet the evolving needs of converters with speed, precision, flexibility, and premium quality.

The set up combines Domino’s N730i Integration Module with Grafotronic’s DCL2 converting and finishing stations, bringing digital printing and high performance converting together in a streamlined process.

Visitors to the Domino-Grafotronic Hybrid Arena, booth 3G85, will be able to see the complete process in action – from substrate preparation through to printed and fully finished label rolls – all in a single pass.

The joint hybrid solution includes corona treatment and web cleaning prior to flexo priming, followed by 1200dpi digital label printing using Domino’s N730i print engine. Coating and spot varnish can be applied in line, giving the printed labels a high end finish, before die cutting, slitting, and final rewind into two separate label rolls.

‘This showcase is a testament to the power of collaboration – combining Domino’s digital printing expertise with Grafotronic’s finishing innovation to create powerful hybrid label printing solutions for our customers. We are proud to showcase what is possible when ambition meets innovation with our example configuration at Labelexpo. This cutting edge, modular hybrid printing solution reflects our deep technical expertise – delivering excellent flexibility, efficiency, and print quality,’ explained Russell Weller, head of digital products, Domino Printing Sciences. ‘Our collaboration is a significant part of Domino’s commitment to ‘doing more’, providing our customers with greater productivity and profitability in label production.’

‘Our customers welcome our flexible modular approach to hybrid printing,’ said Morten Toksværd, business development director, Grafotronic. ‘Working with Domino, we can deliver fully integrated solutions that help converters simplify their workflows, enabling them to improve turnaround times on short and medium runs, ready to meet constantly evolving brand customer demands.’

The fully integrated hybrid solution will be running live demonstrations throughout Labelexpo Europe.
