IGS Launches Next-Generation Digital Packaging & Label Automation at Packaging Innovations & Empack 2026
International Graphic Supplies (IGS) is set to redefine productivity in digital packaging printing and digital label finishing at Packaging Innovations & Empack 2026, taking place at the NEC Birmingham on 11–12 February 2026. Exhibiting at Stand B66, IGS will officially unveil two major advancements designed to help print businesses increase speed, automation, and profitability.
The show will mark the UK launch of a new Suction Feeder for the Cobalt SP800 Single Pass Printer alongside the latest generation of the Titanium IL-330 digital label finisher, now delivering up to 35% faster production speeds.
Cobalt SP800 Single Pass Printer with Suction Feeder
As demand accelerates for short-run, direct-to-packaging digital printing, automation and substrate flexibility have become critical. To address this, IGS has developed a specialised Suction Feeder for the Cobalt SP800 Single Pass Inkjet Printer, dramatically improving feeding accuracy and consistency.
Unlike traditional friction-fed systems, the suction feeder allows seamless handling of a wide range of challenging substrates, including:
- Kraft paper bags
- Pizza boxes
- Napkins and porous paper stocks
- Greaseproof and seed paper
- Beer mats
- Bagasse and fibre-based food packaging
This enhancement transforms the Cobalt SP800 into a true “set-and-forget” single pass digital printing solution, reducing manual intervention while maximising throughput, consistency, and operational efficiency.
At Packaging Innovations 2026, IGS will be demonstrating the Cobalt SP800 live, printing on multiple real-world packaging substrates to showcase its versatility and industrial-grade reliability.
Titanium IL-330 Digital Label Finisher – 35% Faster Production
For label converters and digital printers, speed, accuracy, and flexibility are essential. The latest generation Titanium IL-330 digital label finisher has been engineered to meet these demands, delivering a 35% increase in production speed compared to previous models.
The Titanium IL-330 is a fully die-less digital label finishing system, enabling instant job changes and eliminating tooling costs. This makes it ideal for short-to-medium run digital label production.
Key capabilities include:
- Nine cutting blades operating simultaneously
- Automatic waste stripping
- Cold lamination
- Integrated slitting
- Single-pass multi-task finishing
A high-speed CCD vision registration system continuously tracks marks in real time, ensuring cutting accuracy down to 0.1mm even at increased production speeds.
Industrial Automation Without the Traditional Overhead
Commenting on the launches, Peter Flynn, Managing Director of International Graphic Supplies, said:
“Our goal at Packaging Innovations 2026 is to show businesses how they can bridge the gap between high-quality output and high-speed automation without the massive overheads of traditional machinery.”
“We are excited to be demonstrating the Cobalt SP800 suction feeder live on a wide range of substrates. The increased nine-blade production speed of the Titanium IL-330 reflects our commitment to delivering affordable, industrial-grade solutions for the rapidly growing digital packaging and label markets.”
