Graph-Tech USA will demonstrate its RFIDRunner and LabelRunner systems, highlighting high-speed RFID encoding and digital label production at LOUPE Americas 2026.
Graph-Tech USA (GTUS) will showcase its advanced RFID encoding and digital label production technologies at LOUPE Americas 2026 (formerly Labelexpo), to be held in Chicago from September 15–17 at Booth 6133.
The company will highlight its RFIDRunner and LabelRunner systems, designed to meet the growing demands of industrial label production with high-speed, precise, and reliable performance.
At the exhibition, Graph-Tech USA will demonstrate the RFIDRunner, which prints and encodes UHF RFID tags. The system is capable of encoding and printing up to 10,000 RFID tags in less than 12 minutes, helping manufacturers increase productivity while reducing floor space requirements and labor.
The RFIDRunner features a triple-Impinj architecture with dedicated modules for TID identification, encoding, and multiple quality and data verification checks. This configuration helps ensure data integrity while minimizing waste, reducing consumable usage, and improving production efficiency and system uptime.
The company will also showcase how its RFID solutions help label converters and suppliers meet growing RFID compliance requirements, including retailer mandates such as Walmart’s RFID initiative. As demand for RFID-enabled labels continues to rise, manufacturers are increasingly seeking production systems that deliver higher volumes, lower operating costs, and improved supply chain visibility.
In addition, Graph-Tech USA will demonstrate its LabelRunner digital imprinting system for labels and booklets. Built on the Rosas Maschinenbau Gazelle II platform and integrated with the company’s eZ-Colorjet industrial inkjet printer, the system combines advanced winding technology with piezo drop-on-demand (DOD) printing to deliver high-quality variable data printing at high speeds.
The LabelRunner features 600 dpi four-color UV inkjet printing with a maximum print width of 233 mm (9.17 inches). Powered by seven Epson I3200 PrecisionCore printheads and integrated with the GT controller platform, it supports wide-format label production, including printing two 4-inch labels side by side with reference markings.
“We look forward to showcasing our RFID and digital label imprinting expertise at LOUPE Americas,” said Markus Portmann, President of Graph-Tech USA. “The RFIDRunner is entirely engineered and manufactured at our Florida facility, including the 600 dpi eZ-Inkjet print engine and our proprietary transport system. This enables true zero-waste production—from the first to the last label on a roll—and supports both labels and individual tags, a capability that is unique in the RFID industry.”
