Three weeks home from ITMA 2019 in Barcelona and we are still reeling from what turned out to be an incredibly positive and exciting event. Exhibiting at a high profile international event such as this takes plenty of preplanning and hard work – but it was more than worth it for how well attended and well received our exhibition was this year.
Focus are proud to once again be a silver sponsor of this prestigious event celebrating the work of Britain’s premier printers.

Labelexpo 2019 will see live demonstrations of the very latest models from Focus Label Machinery Ltd., with Servo & Digital solutions at the forefront, for the short & medium print run business.

In this blog post, we examine some of the key advantages of switching to flexible packaging for food products.
