Our Journey to Innovative Labeling Solutions (ILS)

The Innovative Labeling Solutions Open House. Thanks to Eric Knop (far right), the Cogs were there. We hate to let a learning moment get by us, and we saw this one as a must. ILS, based in Hamilton, Ohio, is one of those bright stars in the packaging design-to-print universe we’ve gazed upon for many years. They live up to the innovation claim in their name, and showed all of us attendees how it’s done. In partnership with H-P and ABG, and packaging development guru Michael Ferrari, ILS put on an impressive demonstration of their label and shrink-sleeve capabilities. All of their equipment impressed us, but their new H-P Indigo GEM, which allows digital printing and embellishments such as foil, spot, tactile, cast & cure, and special effects, was out of this world… and, as you might have guessed, right up our alley.
