CABOLL - Case Study OMET HiQ Labels

CABOLL and the success engendered by Open Innovation.

A case study illustrates the benefits of Open Innovation: synergies between specialists maximise an expected result, emphasise individual excellences and deliver innovative, effective and efficient solutions that also consider sustainability constraints.

Continuous product innovation is essential to differentiate the brands in our portfolio and to meet the needs of leading OEMs looking for spare parts to perfectly fit their machines. We not simply aim to achieve this goal, but to beat it by maximizing their performance. That requires a joint R&D effort.

With CABOLL, we have been able to reach results beyond expectations, also thanks to our Community approach, encouraging the Open Innovation.

Operating in more than 35 industries, the technical background of our company is wide and extremely heterogeneous; we usually work with a pool of highly specialized and structured companies with whom we share strategies and developments. This pool of expertise is especially appreciated by well-structured customers who benefit from decision-making responsiveness, cutting-edge technology and flexibility in the start-up phase of the collaboration.

Together with OMET, with the common goal of raising the bar in flexographic printing quality in the narrow web for labels sector and offering printers effective and innovative solutions, we have tested the new anilox.

The first feedback exceeded the best expectations and defined CABOLL as a real innovation in the anilox market. The newly developed coating has a lower impact on the environment than traditional chromium oxide and, at the same time, drastically reduces cleaning times and cycles compared to any other anilox. Last but not least, the printing results are impressive and undeniably superior to even the best ceramics.
