Since its commercial launch in 2015, the Comexi Offset CI Evolution has redefined industrial packaging. By 2025, the platform reached a significant milestone of 30 units sold worldwide, a testament to its position as a premier solution that merges superior print quality with sustainability and cost-efficiency. This innovative technology provides the market’s highest resolution through a 100% solvent-free process without compromising operational costs.
A Unique Market Leader: Flexo, Offset, and Digital
With this milestone, Comexi consolidates its position as the only manufacturer in the flexible packaging industry to offer the three main printing technologies: Flexo, Offset, and Digital. This unique “triple-threat” portfolio allows Comexi to provide an unbiased, consultative approach, ensuring every converter finds the exact technology to match their specific production needs.
Strategic Reinforcement of the Offset Division
Recognizing that Offset technology is a clear and growing market trend, Comexi has significantly reinforced its internal structure to provide comprehensive support for all Offset projects and services. This investment ensures that the company can meet the rising global demand with dedicated expertise, from initial installation to long-term technical service.
Proven Market Success
The technology is gaining rapid momentum globally. With 30 installations—including four recent repeat orders, two of which occurred this last year—the Offset CI Evolution has proven itself as a reliable, high-performance solution. This success is attracting significant interest from brand owners who value its unique combination of speed-to-market, premium quality and environmental responsibility. Today, users are leveraging this technology to produce a diverse range of products, including:
- Flexible Packaging: Pouches, sachets, wrapping and lidding.
- Labels: Shrink sleeves, wrap-around labels and In-Mold Labeling (IML).
Enhanced Automation & Precision
The latest Evolution model introduces a higher level of automation designed to maximize uptime and profitability:
- Rapid Changeovers: Highly automated systems drastically reduce setup times between jobs.
- Faster Color Matching: Streamlined processes reach color targets quicker, significantly reducing substrate waste.
- Unrivaled Color Consistency: The system ensures color stability and register accuracy throughout the entire production run.
The Perfect Balance: Sustainability, Quality and Savings
As industries face mounting pressure to reduce their carbon footprint, the Comexi Offset CI Evolution utilizes VOC-free Electron-Beam (EB) curing technology. By eliminating heat application, it significantly reduces energy consumption compared to conventional thermal drying systems. Since no heat is applied to the substrates, it allows for printing even the thinnest PE or PP films with perfect register at higher speeds. This is ideal for mono-material recyclable structures, which are increasingly demanded to align with the new PPWR (Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation) requirements.
Global Accessibility & Efficiency
- Global Sourcing: EB inks and coatings can be sourced by multiple suppliers worldwide. Because they contain no explosive solvents, they are easier and safer to transport.
- High Efficiency: These inks feature 100% solid content, meaning they require lower consumption to achieve the same high-quality results as solvent-based alternatives.
- Low Prepress Costs: By utilizing affordable, recyclable aluminum offset plates, the machine offers the lowest prepress costs in its category, making high-quality output accessible for both short runs and large-scale operations.
Leading the Sustainable Transition
Sustainability should not be a luxury. The Offset CI Evolution proves that it is possible to achieve peak print quality and high operational speeds while simultaneously lowering costs and protecting the planet. With a reinforced structure and a unique technological offering, Comexi is leading the transition toward the future of flexible packaging.
