EFI offers new version of packaging suite

The new version five of the EFI packaging suite features EFI Radius as its core ERP software, and includes workflow enhancements in estimating, job planning and shop floor data collection, as well as new digital print workflows and additional tools that enhance user productivity and collaboration.

Other new packaging suite workflow enhancements include: online packaging procurement; automated planning optimization; global resource scheduling; multi-channel marketing campaigns; centralized productivity widgets; and a simplified estimating and planning system. EFI's label and packing workflow component technologies are available as a suite or as standalone software for converting operations.

Additionally, EFI’s Jetrion 4950lxe LED inkjet narrow-web press features a new low-migration ink for non-food-contact surface production. The press also offers higher-end imaging, plus users can achieve increased durability and gloss level control using EFI Armor UVF and UVR coatings.

This Jetrion press offers extended versatility as it includes media compatibility profiles for a broader range of label stocks, including Avery Dennison substrates used for durable labels and wine applications.

Optional in-line finishing equipment available from EFI make Jetrion one of the only digital press brands that enables users to take in blank substrate rolls on one end and receive complete, die-cut, slit and back-scored rolls at the other.

‘EFI’s products – including inkjet printers for short- to medium-run digital label and packaging and production, Fiery DFEs, and EFI’s industry-leading offering of packaging MIS/EFP software – give converters the tools they need to simplify workflows, collaborate quickly, and focus on profitability,’ said Paul Cripps, EFI vice president of sales, EMEA operations.
