Xeikon has announced the return of its live educational event series, with the next installment, Unboxed: A Xeikon Learning Experience. Taking place at the Xeikon North American Innovation Center (XIC) in Elgin, IL, USA, this full-day, in-person experience brings together label and packaging professionals on September 25, 2025. The event provides an immersive deep dive into the future of print and packaging. 

Designed for those seeking to stay ahead of shifting market demands, Unboxed offers attendees a chance to step outside of their day-to-day operations and into an environment built entirely around learning, exploring, and idea-sharing. The event will feature curated sessions, real-world demos, and opportunities for candid conversations with industry trailblazers. Unboxed emphasizes education over sales, discovery over product pitches, as well.

Registration is available here.

“At Repacorp, we don’t make equipment decisions lightly,” says Aaron Dumke, VP of packaging, Repacorp. “Every press we invest in needs to align with our long-term goals for quality, flexibility, and speed to market. When deciding to upgrade our Xeikon Panther presses, the PX3300HD checked all the boxes. The new installation has showcased that the press is the real deal. It gives us the ability to print the high quality 1200 x 1200 dpi we need. It is also much more operator friendly, and the capacity output we are achieving showcases it will compete with anything in the market.”
