Partnering on the stand, the two companies will be displaying the Zünd G3 L2500 digital cutting system.  

Products from Océ’s Imaging Supplies will also be shown, and for the third year running Océ will be partnering with self-adhesive and speciality media specialist Avery Graphics. Océ will host daily competitions, in partnership with Avery Graphics, in which prizes will be awarded to visitors.  

Océ, Zünd and Avery Graphics will use the event to demonstrate the latest labour-saving innovations, designed to reduce waste and increase productivity.
