The Line-Up

Two brands. Represented separately.

PRINTPAC represents two independent technology lines across the UK & Ireland — OMET flexo press platforms and Xaar Versatex inkjet systems. Each is specified, quoted, and supported on its own terms, whether you need one technology or both.

Press Platforms

OMET

Molteno, Italy — since 1963

OMET builds modular, multi-technology printing platforms for labels, flexible packaging, and converting — combining flexo, offset, screen, and digital units in a single pass, reconfigurable as production needs change. PRINTPAC is OMET's representative across the UK & Ireland.

Why PRINTPAC

One partner, two independent technologies

OMET flexo presses and Xaar inkjet systems are two distinct product lines, each sourced and supported on its own terms. PRINTPAC represents both separately across the UK & Ireland, so you get specialist expertise on either — or both — from a single regional partner.

Specified independently

Each product line — OMET press platforms and Xaar Versatex inkjet systems — is specified on its own terms, matched to your substrate, run length, and application.

Regional service, both lines

Installation, commissioning, and spares for OMET presses and Xaar printheads each come from the same PRINTPAC team, quoted and delivered separately per product line.

Built for run-on-run change

Short runs, fast changeovers, mixed substrates — we plan for the production reality converters actually face, not the spec-sheet best case.

How It Starts

From enquiry to install

01

Application review

Substrate, run lengths, and finishing needs, mapped against the OMET and Xaar range.

02

Configuration & quote

An OMET press configuration, a Xaar inkjet configuration, or both — specified and quoted separately per product line.

03

Install & commission

On-site installation and calibration by the PRINTPAC engineering team.

04

Ongoing service

Spares, consumables, and support for both brands from a single contact.
