At the AstroNova booth, MTEX NS will present the innovative MULTI 800 for corrugated box printing, and the AQUAFLEX S.

The TrojanLabel T3-PRO, AstroNova’s short-run solution for printing on envelopes and a wide range of sustainable packaging, will be shown mounted on an exciting new conveyor table specially designed to allow edge-to-edge printing on flat substrates.

The TrojanLabel T2-PRO is a floor-top, compact digital label press that prints with CMYK aqueous pigment inks. It caters to the label industry’s evolving needs for customized and on-demand printing solutions built with industrial quality and is easy to learn and operate by non-press operators.

The QuickLabel QL-250 is a low-cost, digital desktop label printer that can print up to 8.6-inch wide inkjet label stock for short-run label printing needs.
