Domino and Grafotronic join forces at Labelexpo Europe

Domino Printing Sciences (Domino) and Grafotronic have confirmed a collaborative showcase under the theme ‘We are hybrid’, at Labelexpo Europe 2025. The companies will present live demonstration of a fully integrated hybrid label printing and finishing technology designed to meet the evolving needs of converters with speed, precision, flexibility and premium quality. 

The setup combines Domino’s N730i Integration Module with Grafotronic’s DCL2 converting and finishing stations, bringing digital printing and high-performance converting together in a streamlined process. 

Visitors to the Domino-Grafotronic Hybrid Arena, booth 3G85, will be able to see the complete process in action – from substrate preparation through to printed and fully finished label rolls – all in a single pass. 

The joint hybrid system includes corona treatment and web cleaning prior to flexo priming, followed by 1200 DPI digital label printing using Domino’s N730i print engine. Coating and spot varnish can be applied in-line, giving the printed labels a high-end finish, before die-cutting, slitting, and final rewind into two separate label rolls. 

Russell Weller, head of digital products, Domino Printing Sciences, said: ‘This showcase is a testament to the power of collaboration – combining Domino’s digital printing expertise with Grafotronic’s finishing innovation to create powerful hybrid label printing solutions for our customers. We are proud to showcase what is possible when ambition meets innovation with our example configuration at Labelexpo. This cutting-edge, modular hybrid printing solution reflects our deep technical expertise – delivering excellent flexibility, efficiency, and print quality. Our collaboration is a significant part of Domino’s commitment to “doing more”, providing our customers with greater productivity and profitability in label production.’ 

Morten Toksværd, business development director, Grafotronic, said: ‘Our customers welcome our flexible modular approach to hybrid printing. Working with Domino, we can deliver fully integrated solutions that help converters simplify their workflows, enabling them to improve turnaround times on short and medium runs, ready to meet constantly evolving brand customer demands.’ 

French label producer LP2i Étiquettes benefits from Domino and Grafotronic’s collaboration. Patrice Neri, CEO, commented: ‘We are excited to work with our two Grafotronic machines. The modular concept and user-friendliness provide major advantages, and Grafotronic’s support is truly first-class. By combining these virtues with the superb output quality of the Domino N730i, we have the perfect solution.’ 

The fully integrated hybrid solution will be running live demonstrations throughout Labelexpo Europe at the Domino-Grafotronic Hybrid Arena, booth 3G85.
