SOMA Innovation Day 2025 Showcases Flexographic Solutions SOMA hosted its SOMA Innovation Day 2025 at the com- pany’s headquarters in Lanskroun, Czech Republic on No- vember 20. The event was the highlight of SOMA’s Autumn Innova- tions series, which began at the K 2025 fair in Düsseldorf and continued with a global in-house gathering focused on live demonstrations and expert exchange. Welcoming Guests Innovation Day welcomed around 200 industry profes- sionals from all over the world, including printers, convert- ers, and key partners. Guests learned about SOMA’s newest technologies not only through presentations, but in live production demos and hands-on showcases. A reported highlight of the day was a live demonstra- tion of Flexo IPU — an intelligent printing unit downstream from a SOMA Optima2 flexo press applying a paper-touch varnish. IPU expands SOMA presses with additional sta- tions to print premium coatings, applied in a single pass. The demonstration showed how converters can produce high-value packaging with effects such as soft touch, tac- tile finishes, matte coatings, barrier layers, heat-seal var- nishes, and more.
