Visitors can explore Baldwin’s full portfolio of products for labels and packaging in booth #729, which include color and inspection solutions, UV and LED-UV curing technology and corona treatment systems.

“We understand that while it’s certainly a strong market out there, our customers are still facing challenges like supply chain uncertainty, inflation and labor constraints, to name a few,” said Craig Black, Baldwin’s Vice President of Sales. “Our goal is to help attendees learn how we can help to alleviate some of these stressors while ultimately increasing their bottom-line profitability through higher productivity, improved quality, and reduced downtime.

Meeting ongoing customer demand, Baldwin is launching the Guardian PQV 100% Print Inspection version 4.0. at Labelexpo. Designed and manufactured to help printers achieve print quality perfection and reduce material waste, these state-of-the-art camera systems can provide single or dual sided 100% print quality inspection for any given application.

“Baldwin has helped secure our future by helping us achieve the optimum balance between internal business efficiency and meeting brand owner expectations,” said Ted Biggs, Vice President of Manufacturing at AWT Labels and Packaging in Minneapolis, MN.
