Epson Showcases Professional Digital Solutions at the 10th China International All-Print Expo, Driving the Printing Industry Upgrade
On October 12, Epson appeared at the 10th China International All-Print Expo under the theme 'Printing Ecosystem, Professional Digital Empowerment.' Focusing on the transformation needs of the packaging and label printing industry, Epson showcased a range of innovative solutions and practical applications covering digital labels, printed packaging, and quick-print services. While unlocking new paths for China's printing industry to become more digital, green, and flexible, the company also continues to expand the industry's scope.
Digital-Flex Integration: Unlocking a New One-Stop High-Value Label Production Model
The label printing industry is currently undergoing a deep structural transformation, with personalized, customized demand continuing to grow. The market is showing a pattern of small fragmented orders alongside large-scale bulk orders. Single-process methods can no longer balance flexible production with scale efficiency, and the industry urgently needs an integrated printing solution to break through development bottlenecks.
To tackle this challenge, Epson has teamed up with Shenzhen Ruibang Intelligent Equipment Technology Co., Ltd. to jointly create a digital-flex integrated, water-based eco-friendly inkjet label solution, which was launched with a bang on the first day of the exhibition.

This solution deeply integrates digital inkjet with traditional flexographic printing, balancing the need for quick responses on short runs with the cost efficiency of long-run continuous production. It helps customers flexibly deploy capacity based on order structure and produce on demand.
At the launch event, Ryosuke Ishibashi, President of Epson (China) Co., Ltd., said, 'China is a very important market for Epson. In the future, we will further deepen our "Technology Localization" strategy and work with our Chinese partners to create printing solutions that better meet the needs of the Chinese market.'

This fully proves that industry clients highly recognize Epson's digital label printing technology products, brand strength, and ecosystem collaboration model, and it also shows that this flexible digital integration solution truly meets the real business needs of the current market.
