After months narrowing down over 100 qualified entries, two days of onsite voting allowed PACK EXPO Las Vegas and Healthcare Packaging EXPO attendees to be the ultimate judge of the most innovative new technologies at the show.

The UltraSource Matrix Ultra Labeler is an innovative and unique film labeling machine that provides high speed and accurate performance in a portable and affordable design.
