ROTOCON to showcase one-stop printing and finishing technologies for label production at Propak Cape

ROTOCON will return to Propak Cape on stand B2a, presenting its portfolio of turnkey production solutions that support every stage of label and flexible packaging printing and finishing. Propak Cape takes place from 27–29 October 2026 at the Cape Town International Convention Centre in Cape Town, South Africa.

ROTOCON will highlight its RFP flexographic presses, label finishing and converting equipment, SCREEN’s Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI digital press series, and Pantec Rhino embossing technology, which it represents in South Africa. On the stand will be Patrick and Pascal Aengenvoort, Executive Directors and Owners of ROTOCON.

ROTOCON’s range of flexographic printing, label finishing and converting machines comprises scalable, modular platforms that can be configured to meet changing production requirements. The systems support consistent quality, fast changeovers and efficient end-to-end workflows, with a focus on reliability, performance and ease of operation.

For converters producing premium labels, the combination of print quality and sophisticated finishing can help brands differentiate their products. The SCREEN Truepress LABEL 350UV SAI series combines high-quality colour reproduction, white ink and expanded-gamut options with the flexibility of digital production for short and medium runs, while ROTOCON’s RDF digital printed label converting and finishing system provides a complementary platform for taking digitally printed labels through converting and enhancement.

Available in modular configurations, the RDF can integrate with digital presses or operate offline, with options including precise die cutting, hot and cold foil, embossing, silk screen embellishment and lamination. Pantec’s Rhino embossing technology, also represented by ROTOCON in South Africa, can be integrated inline on the ROTOCON RDF or RFP flexo press. The Rhino technology enables tactile and dimensional effects for labels requiring a higher level of embellishment, including premium wine and spirits labels.

ROTOCON also provides tooling as part of its broader offering to label converters in South Africa. Its dedicated tooling division combines local manufacturing capability with access to international tooling technology, supporting converters with dependable lead times, consistent die performance and technical support. High-volume die production capacity enables the division to accommodate demanding production requirements while maintaining the flexibility and responsiveness of a local supplier. Through partnerships with established global tooling specialists such as Wink, ROTOCON also provides access to advanced die technology for a wide range of label converting applications.

“As a one-stop partner for label printers and converters in the narrow-web industry, ROTOCON combines proven printing, finishing and converting technologies with local sales and service support,” said the Aengenvoorts. “A key differentiator is the comprehensive technical support provided throughout the lifecycle. Customers benefit from hands-on assistance, including troubleshooting, on-site visits, operator training, tooling assessments and performance reviews.

“Our focus is not simply on supplying technology, but on building long-term partnerships and supporting our customers throughout the life of their equipment and tooling. At Propak Cape, we invite label converters to stop by our stand for a coffee and an open discussion about their labels, their production requirements and where they see opportunities to improve. It is an opportunity to talk openly about what is working, what could work better and how ROTOCON can support them for the long term.”
