At Interpack2026, IMA Labeling will be part of something truly exceptional.
IMA Group will once again take center stage with one of the largest exhibition presences at the entire show, occupying an extensive area in Hall 17— a space that reflects the scale, ambition and technological depth of the Group.
More than astand, the IMA Hall represents a fully immersive ecosystem, where multiple companies, technologies and competencies converge to showcase a unified vision of processing and packaging.
Within this environment, IMA Labeling contributes with a clear perspective: labeling is no longer just a step in the process — it is a strategic lever for performance, sustainability and integration.
IMA’s presence at Interpack goes far beyond individual technologies.
Across Hall 17, visitors will experience:
• integrated production lines
• cross-division synergies
• end-to-end solutions spanning multiple industries
From pharmaceuticals to food and personal care, the IMA ecosystem demonstrates how complexity can be transformed into seamless, connected performance.
ZERO – Linerless Print & Apply represents a fundamental shift in labeling.
By removing the liner, the system simplifies the entire workflow while unlocking significant advantages:
• longer roll autonomy and fewer changeovers
• elimination of liner waste
• reduced maintenance and downtime
• lower total cost of ownership
Designed for high-speed and high-precision environments, ZERO enables a cleaner, more efficient and more sustainable approach to labeling — delivering value across a wide range of industries, from e-commerce and logistics to pharmaceutical, personal care and food applications.
At Interpack 2026, ZERO will be showcased equipped with Zebra Technologies print engines, ensuring reliable, high-quality printing performance fully aligned with industrial requirements.
The solution has been developed in collaboration with UPM, leveraging OptiCut™ direct thermal linerless labels, designed to ensure precise cutting, clean handling and consistent application performance.
In addition to operational efficiency, these materials are certified as CarbonNeutral® across their full lifecycle, enabling companies to combine performance with credible and measurable sustainability outcomes.
At Interpack 2026, sustainability moves beyond claims and becomes tangible, data-driven and measurable.
With Label Your Impact, the interactive tool developed in collaboration with UPM, IMA Labeling introduces a new way to experience the transition to linerless technology.
Visitors will be able to input key production parameters and instantly visualize:
• material savings
• waste reduction
• cost optimization
• environmental impact
Built on real operational data, the tool transforms sustainability into clear, quantifiable outcomes, enabling companies to make informed decisions based on measurable value.
By combining IMA Labeling’s application technology with UPM’s linerless materials — including OptiCut™ direct thermal labels — the experience highlights how material and machine work together to deliver both performance and sustainability.
With ION – Electro-Adhesion Technology, IMA Labeling introduces a new dimension of control in label handling.
By leveraging controlled electrostatic forces, ION enables:
• dynamic stabilization of the label during transfer
• high repeatability even at elevated speeds
• improved application accuracy with reduced micro-deviation
This approach moves beyond traditional mechanical handling, allowing a more controlled interaction between label and product — particularly in high-speed and high-precision environments. With ION, there is no need to adapt the system to the label — change the label, not the pad, and defy conventional size limits.
ION represents a shift toward field-controlled application, where precision is no longer limited by mechanical constraints but enhanced through intelligent technology.
At Interpack 2026, IMA Labeling redefines the role of labeling.
No longer a secondary operation, but a core element of production performance — capable of improving efficiency, enabling sustainability and ensuring precision at scale.
From linerless technology to electro-adhesion, from data-driven tools to fully integrated solutions, IMA Labeling demonstrates how innovation translates into real impact on the production line.
This is where labeling becomes a competitive advantage.
Step into the IMA Hall and experience how labeling is being redefined — from linerless innovation to electro-adhesion, from sustainability to full integration.
