From printing to embellishment: discover the technologies in action at LOUPE Americas 2026.

KURZ and seven industry partners will bring printing, materials, tooling, embellishment, finishing, and authentication together through live demonstrations covering different stages of label production.

Watch labels take shape on a Nilpeter flexo press, featuring Pantec RHINO-S Hot Stamping, high-precision tooling from Hinderer + Mühlich, and KURZ DISTORUN® Cold Transfer, using substrates supplied by Avery Dennison and UPM Adhesive Materials.

You’ll also see the Xeikon TX500 running inline with the KURZ R520, combining narrow-web digital printing and metallization live at the Flint Group Packaging Solutions booth.

With DREAMCOMPOSER®, you’ll explore how to move from idea to approval faster by visualizing KURZ shades and structures in realistic 3D, evaluating options, and refining details before the design moves into production.

Follow the complete process on The Label Trail, a guided experience where participating technology companies will present our technologies from concept to consumer.

See the technologies. Follow the label. Explore the complete workflow.

Cat owners put real thought into what goes into the bowl, from ingredients and nutrition to specific dietary needs. They trust that the food they choose is genuine, safe, and delivers the quality their cat depends on.

Counterfeit and unauthorized products can put that confidence at risk.

Reliable authentication gives pet owners a simple way to verify what they’re buying and access trusted product information right at the point of purchase.

KURZ SCRIBOS brand protection solutions help cat food brands protect product integrity, strengthen consumer trust, and give pet owners greater confidence in every purchase.

September goes macro!

For the 2026 KURZ USA calendar, fish scales become a study in pattern discipline and surface rhythm.

ALUFIN® silver defines the geometry of each scale, while LUXOR® 359 deep red introduces contrast and depth between layers. Embossing recreates the tactile structure of real scales - structured, overlapping, dimensional.

Repetition becomes impact.

Because when Hinderer + Mühlich precision stamping dies meet KURZ foil technology, organic patterns aren’t just replicated, they’re engineered into controlled, production-ready dimensional design.

Give your label a 3D focal point customers remember, while keeping production efficiency in the plan.

TRUSTSEAL® SFX creates a striking single-image holographic effect with visual depth that makes specific design elements stand out. Logos, icons, and custom shapes can become an intentional focal point that catches the eye and strengthens recognition at the point of sale.

And with DISTORUN®, that high-impact effect is built around real narrow-web production needs.

The cold transfer unit synchronizes with the printing press for accurate single-image positioning, while unused transfer material between motifs can be rewound and used in a second finishing run. That helps you put premium effects exactly where they create value while reducing unnecessary material use and consumable costs.

Memorable design on the shelf. Smarter use of material on press.

Explore how TRUSTSEAL® and DISTORUN® can bring visual impact and production efficiency together in your next label project.

Better label production starts when the right technologies work together.

At LOUPE Americas 2026, we’re bringing that collaboration to the show floor with eight industry partners joining us at the KURZ booth.

Together with Nilpeter, Pantec, UPM, H+M, ACTEGA, ROTOMETRICS, Avery Dennison, and Wilson Manufacturing, we’re creating a connected look at label production and the technologies that help turn a strong concept into a production-ready finished label.

For you, that means one place to explore more of the workflow, connect with experts across the process, and see how the right combination of technologies can support better quality, greater efficiency, and more value in every job.

Explore it live at LOUPE Americas 2026, Hall A, Booth 1029 and rethink what’s possible in label production.

Design packaging people want to pick up twice: first with their eyes, then with their hands.

3D digital embellishment gives you another dimension to design with. Raised UV spot varnish, tactile relief, and flat or raised metallization can turn typography, patterns, logos, and fine details into physical elements of the brand experience.

And the creative freedom starts in the file.

KURZ 3D inkjet technology digitally controls exactly where varnish is applied and how much is used to build the structure. That means you can move from subtle texture to bold relief, add precise metallic highlights, and create detailed effects without plates or molds.

The payoff is bigger than a beautiful finish. You get more freedom to test ideas, adapt designs for different versions or runs, and create premium packaging that stands out on shelf and feels intentional in hand.

KURZ Digital Embellishment Solutions bring that creativity into an industrial process with single-pass production, repeatable quality, and the performance needed to turn ambitious packaging concepts into production-ready results.

Your vehicle front should be recognizable before anyone sees the badge.

The FrontIQ concept turns a large exterior component into a distinctive brand surface through three-dimensional light architecture, crystal effects, holographic details, and optional integrated functions.

That creates more freedom to build a recognizable lighting signature across the full front end - one that defines the vehicle long before the badge is seen.

At the same time, KURZ IMD VARIOFORM® and the 3K IMD process bring the concept into production reality by combining forming, decoration, molding, and protective coating within a single coordinated system. This enables large, complex components while reducing separate process stages and downstream handling.

The result is a bold exterior identity developed with surface durability, repeatability, and series production in mind.

Decorating large parts. Simplified.

Fans buy merchandise because it connects them to what they love. That trust should come with the product.

A licensed collectible carries real emotional value. Fans expect it to feel authentic, look right, and deliver the quality they associate with the brand. When counterfeit merchandise gets into the market, that experience can break fast.

Secure authentication gives fans something powerful at the moment of purchase: certainty.

A clear way to verify that the item is genuine helps protect the fan experience, strengthens confidence in official merchandise, and reinforces the value behind every licensed product. For entertainment properties, that means stronger protection for the brand, greater confidence across licensing programs, and a better experience for the people who care about the merchandise most.

KURZ SCRIBOS brand protection solutions help make authenticity visible and verifiable, so fans can buy with confidence and brands can protect the trust they’ve worked hard to build.
