"IMB is considered the world’s leading trade show for apparel production technology and textile processing. For Avery Dennison the show was the ideal platform to demonstrate to a global audience, the efficiency and innovation of its latest product identification solutions," said Mike Brown, Market Development Manager, In-Plant Printing, EMEA & South Asia.
RFID Solutions
Avery Dennison's RFID solutions are already being used by leading European apparel retailers to effectively control in-store inventories, improve supply chain efficiency, reduce lead times and increase sales. Realistic retail customer demonstrations on the stand, a pre-launch of the SNAP700 RFID Gen2 printer and presentations by James Stafford, head of RFID adoption, helped visitors to see how RFID can be used effectively throughout the textile apparel supply chain.
In-Plant Printing - New SNAP 700
The IMB show was a launch pad for the new Avery Dennison SNAP 700 multimedia printer.The SNAP 700 incorporates all of the best features from the earlier SNAP models and is a unique double sided printer benefiting from a 127mm/5” wide print capability and near edge print head technology. This allows high speed ticket and sticker printing at up to 12ips or 300mm per second and offers the user a combination of design flexibility and high productivity. Designed to meet the diverse labelling challenges faced by apparel contractors worldwide, the versatile SNAP 700 also features voice-assisted operation and maintenance prompts in seven languages and can print a broad range of care labels, tickets, self adhesive labels and heat seal products. The printer has been designed for easy set up and maintenance.
Heat Transfer Bonders and Transfers
Heat Transfers featured highly at the show with the introduction of the HS70 cut single and roll to roll bonders. Also on display were Avery Dennison heat 
transfers such as ECO Stretch Transfers and Digital High-Definition Transfers. ECO Stretch transfers are 100% water-based and PVC free and are suitable for a broad range of skin contact and high performance applications. Digital High-Definition Transfers offer multicolour photographic image quality which can be combined with variable information for eye-catching design and enhanced brand recognition.
