Epson to showcase ColorWorks on-demand colour label printing at PPMA Show 2026

Visitors invited to experience cost savings, label durability and waste reduction first-hand at Epson stand A54, Hall 5

Epson will showcase its latest ColorWorks colour-on-demand label printing solutions at PPMA Show 2026, taking place from 22–24 September at the NEC Birmingham. Visitors to Epson’s stand (A54, Hall 5) will be able to discover how businesses can transform their labelling processes through in-house, full-colour label production that delivers greater flexibility, lower costs and reduced waste.

Organised by the Processing and Packaging Machinery Association (PPMA), the PPMA Show is the UK’s largest event dedicated to processing, packaging, robotics and industrial line solutions, bringing together manufacturers, industry experts and technology providers from across multiple sectors.

At the show, Epson will demonstrate its ColorWorks range of industrial colour label printers, designed to help organisations print high-quality labels precisely when they are needed. By eliminating the requirement for large stocks of pre-printed labels, businesses can respond faster to changing customer demands, product variations, regulatory requirements and seasonal promotions while significantly reducing obsolete label inventory.

ColorWorks printers provide several key benefits for businesses, including:

Cost savings through reduced label inventory, fewer label stock variations and less waste.
Print-just-what-you-need flexibility, enabling companies to produce labels on demand and avoid over-ordering.
High-quality colour printing that enhances product presentation and brand visibility.
Durable labels resistant to water, smudging and fading, helping ensure readability throughout the supply chain.
Improved sustainability through reduced waste and more efficient production processes.

Visitors to the Epson stand will have the opportunity to see live demonstrations and test the performance of ColorWorks labels for themselves. They will be able to evaluate durability characteristics such as water and smudge resistance, explore different ink options for specific industry applications and experience first-hand how on-demand colour printing can streamline operations while reducing total labelling costs.

The ColorWorks portfolio supports a wide range of industries including food and beverage, manufacturing, retail, healthcare and logistics, where accurate, durable and highly customised labelling is essential. Whether managing frequent design changes, large product portfolios or variable data requirements, businesses can benefit from the flexibility and reliability of Epson’s colour-on-demand technology.

Phil McMullin, Head of Sales Commercial&Industrial Printing and Business Systems, Epson UK, said “Today’s manufacturers and brand owners need labelling solutions that are agile, cost-effective and capable of supporting increasingly dynamic production environments. With ColorWorks, businesses can print exactly the labels they need, when they need them, while reducing waste, simplifying inventory management and maintaining exceptional print quality. We’re excited to welcome visitors to our stand at PPMA 2026 and show them how colour-on-demand labelling can deliver tangible operational and commercial benefits.”
