Three live production lines, featuring the new dual print-bar JET D-SCREEN technology capable of producing spot varnishing and Digital Metallic Doming in a single pass. CARTES will be exhibiting at LOUPE Americas 2026, where at Hall D – Booth 5710, the company will showcase three fully operational production lines, giving visitors the opportunity to experience live demonstrations of CARTES’ latest technologies for premium label printing, embellishment and converting.
The exhibition follows a particularly successful year for CARTES, marked by important international recognition and the continuous development of innovative solutions that continue to redefine the standards of label printing, digital embellishment and converting.
The company’s participation underlines its ongoing commitment to developing high-value modular solutions that combine productivity, print quality and maximum creative freedom.
The first machine on display will be a dedicated laser die-cutting line. CARTES has been a pioneer in laser die-cutting technology since 1999, continuously advancing the technology to deliver outstanding precision, tool-free operation and exceptionally fast job changeovers.
CARTES is also the only company in the world to ofer the patented ILC – Invisible Laser Cutting system, enabling dark-background labels to be die-cut without the traditional white edge, resulting in a flawless premium finish.
Also running live will be the GT365WHFSR, configured with one flexo unit, hot foil stamping, a second flexo unit, conventional screen printing and semi-rotary die-cutting. This highly versatile configuration combines multiple printing and finishing processes within a single production line, allowing premium labels to be produced in one pass.
The highlight of the exhibition will be the GEMINI GE363WJ2R, equipped with one flexo unit, a JET D-SCREEN digital embellishment unit featuring dual print bars, and semi-rotary die-cutting.
Thanks to its two independent print bars, the system can apply two diferent digital varnishes within the same production pass, simultaneously creating spot varnishing and Digital Metallic Doming efects without interrupting production while maintaining perfect registration throughout the process.
This new capability significantly expands creative possibilities for designers, label converters and printers. It enables multiple tactile and visual embellishment efects to be combined within a single production cycle while reducing production time, operating costs and material waste.
With this latest development, CARTES once again demonstrates its ability to anticipate market requirements by designing solutions that combine innovation, productivity and sustainability, creating new opportunities for premium label and high-end packaging production.
Throughout LOUPE Americas, visitors will have the opportunity to experience live demonstrations, meet the CARTES technical and sales team, and discover how the integration of conventional and digital technologies can increase label value while simplifying the entire production workflow.
CARTES’ modular platforms integrate printing, embellishment and converting within a single production line, giving label manufacturers complete freedom to configure their equipment according to their specific production requirements.
From printing to embellishment and converting, CARTES continues to redefine technological standards for premium label production, turning innovation into tangible value for label manufacturers worldwide.
