Ikonprint was founded in 2006 and mainly produces safety labels, logistics labels and thermo labels, as well as RFID labels. It delivers labels for libraries and logistics companies all over the world and exports roughly 70 percent of its production worldwide.

Panorama is Nilpeter’s digital offering, and is available as a stand-alone digital press and as a combined digital press and converting line. The inkjet-based line was introduced at Labelexpo Europe 2015.

Ikonprint’s investment decision is a direct result of an increased number of incoming orders, resulting in the need to expand its production capacity.

The first test runs made during Ikonprint’s acquisition of the Panorama were of such high quality that the company decided to skip further testing and jumped straight into the production of two customer orders – the production of around 500,000 wristbands for Bakken Amusement Park and the labels for Braunstein’s organic Easter beer. Other products Ikonprint’s Panorama will be used to produce include labels for industrial coating and paints, wine and spirits, and cosmetics.

Ikonprint CEO Thomas Nielsen said prints that are durable, water- and fade-resistant are important to the company and its customers, with the Panorama meeting these requirements. ‘The high print quality, high uptime and smart workflow made it an easy decision for us.’
