As a pioneer in the art of in-house coating, it materialized in 2000 a novel concept with COHESIO—a vertically-integrated, all-in-one label printing, coating, and finishing machine. By eliminating the need to outsource label stock procurement, printing businesses suddenly acquired the capacity to truly create labels, instead of just printing them. This made-to-measure, result-driven approach ensures maximum ROI for the customer and fosters their flexibility and self-reliance.
