HYBRID Software’s commitment to innovation was validated strongly at Labelexpo Europe 2017, with €1.2 million in sales closed this week. “This was Hybrid’s most successful Labelexpo ever. Our stand was at full capacity every day with visitors from all over the world, a testament to our leading position in technology. Customers appreciate that we listen to them and act on their input,” according to Guido Van der Schueren, Chairman of the Board of HYBRID Software. 

Show highlights included the purchase of three seats of PACKZ, the Native PDF editor for labels and packaging, by the French digital printer MR Cartonnage Numérique, bringing the total number of PACKZ licenses sold to 1,500 copies! Z Due, a fast-growing Italian flexo trade shop, purchased 18 more licenses of PACKZ at Labelexpo for a total of 32 licenses, replacing all of their editing software with PACKZ. Other noteworthy sales were a full system comprised of CLOUDFLOW, ProofScope, and PACKZ to a large label converter in Australia. In total, 72 seats of PACKZ were sold this week including a large installation in North America, and the installed base of PACKZ has tripled in the last 12 months.

HYBRID’s products were also demonstrated on other stands including AV Flexologic, where HYBRID’s PACKZ and PatchPlanner software provided automated workflows for high precision plate mounting equipment. “We are on the radar screen of many large players in the label and packaging industry,” says Van der Schueren. “However, our customers are always our primary focus, and they keep us driving ahead. We look forward to returning to Labelexpo in 2019 and beyond.”
