ABG joins Mythos collaboration

A B Graphic International (ABG) has joined forces with Tomlinson, Aldus API Transfer Technologies, Berkshire Labels and Studio Parc to create Mythos, an ambitious innovation project celebrating craftsmanship, creativity and technical excellence within the label and packaging industry.

Created from a shared commitment to pushing the boundaries of print and finishing, Mythos brings together five companies, each a specialist in their field. The result is a stunning collection of six luxury label samples inspired by the rich storytelling and timeless elegance of Greek mythology. Each is designed to demonstrate what can be achieved through collaboration, precision and innovation.

The initiative, led by Tomlinson, a specialist in precision die-making, was designed to enable industry-leading samples that would set a new standard for luxury label production. Building on more than a decade of partnerships, the five companies combined their respective strengths across design, materials, tooling, foiling, printing and finishing to realize a bold creative vision.

'Mythos represents everything that's possible when leaders in their respective fields unite with a shared passion for excellence,' commented Matt Burton, global sales director at ABG. 'At ABG, we're proud that our finishing technology played a central role in transforming these designs into tangible works of art. Each sample showcases the precision, flexibility and creative potential our equipment enables.'

Berkshire Labels printed each label in the Mythos series on an HP Indigo WS6800 digital press, then finished on a Digicon Series 3, ABG's flagship modular finishing system.

The Digicon Series 3 configuration used on the project featured a comprehensive setup designed to achieve the highest standards of visual and tactile impact. It included an unwind and rewind system, a Big Foot foil and embossing system, two full rotary flexo units, a turn bar and over lamination, a half turn bar, a high-speed rotary die-cutter with slitter-matrix rewind, a flexo unit and a Big Foot foil and magnetic foil application unit.
