THE INTERVIEW
Marco Calcagni
Sales & Marketing Director
Which of your technologies are currently most appreciated by the market?
Today, the market increasingly rewards the ability to combine print quality, operational simplicity and waste reduction.
In this context, platforms such as KFlex K6 and XFlex X7 perfectly represent the OMET philosophy: high automation, modularity and fast job changeovers.
Strong interest is also being sparked by solutions developed to optimize production processes, such as the new Multivision+ system and Cold Foil Saver.
Which projects have you launched in 2026 and what news can you share?
2026 opened with the launch of the new KFlex K6, previewed at Labelexpo Europe in Barcelona. The platform redefines the concept of flexographic printing through an approach even more focused on automation, ease of use and digital connectivity. At the same time, we continue investing in our Innovation Park, which is increasingly becoming an international meeting point for application testing, training and technological exchange with customers and partners.
Regulations and rising costs: how is your company responding to these two challenges?
New regulations and increasing costs are driving the industry toward greater production efficiency. Our response is to invest in technologies that reduce waste, setup times and consumption, helping printers improve both competitiveness and sustainability in practical terms.
At the same time, we are working closely with partners and suppliers to develop solutions aligned with the evolving requirements of packaging and the circular economy.
What role do trade fairs play in driving the development of new services and products?
Trade fairs remain a key opportunity for direct interaction with the market. Today, they are no longer simply a commercial showcase, but a concrete opportunity to gather needs, ideas and technological insights.
For OMET, they represent a true innovation accelerator: many of our product developments originate from ongoing dialogue with printers, converters and international partners.
THE PRODUCTS
OMET continues to drive innovation in the printing industry through technologically advanced solutions designed to meet the needs of the label and packaging markets. Among these, the new KFlex K6 and XFlex X7 represent two of the most advanced and versatile platforms within the OMET portfolio. The KFlex K6 redefines the flexographic platform concept through a new design developed to simplify operator activities and increase production efficiency. The machine integrates advanced automation solutions such as the new OMET Multivision+ system, which employs motorized multi-camera technology to ensure automatic register adjustment and real-time monitoring, dramatically reducing waste and setup times. The new gearless flexo unit with interchangeable sleeves guarantees high printing precision and maximum stability even at high speeds, while the optimized web path helps minimize material waste. The platform also retains the full flexibility of the Switch system, allowing easy integration of converting and embellishment units such as hot foil, screen printing, removable die-cutting units and digital bars for variable data printing, adapting quickly to different production requirements.
The XFlex X7 has been developed to address the growing demand for high-quality shrink sleeves and flexible packaging for medium and short production runs, with a specific focus on production efficiency, fast job changes and consistent print quality.
Thanks to fully servo-driven Zero-Gear flexo units and automatic print pressure adjustments, the XFlex X7 delivers outstanding results even at high production speeds, eliminating the limitations typically associated with traditional configurations. To further expand application possibilities, the X7 platform can be configured with high-performance gravure units for front and reverse printing, alongside numerous converting and finishing solutions, including Soft Touch applications and other high-value-added processes. The combination of different technologies within the same production line enables printers to create premium products and differentiate their offer in an increasingly competitive market.
