Registration to attend Labelexpo Americas,
the largest label, product decoration, web printing and converting tradeshow is
now open. Returning to the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center, Rosemont, Chicago,
Labelexpo Americas 2012 is already five percent bigger than its last edition in
2010. Being held between 11-13 September, it is again supported by TLMI.
The place where label converters and printers
from across North and South America come to source suppliers, see and purchase
new technology, Labelexpo Americas is the industry’s must-attend event. In
addition to all of the innovation and insight that Labelexpo Americas
exhibitors bring to the show floor each year, attendees can look forward to meeting
over 400 suppliers and manufacturers including 67 brand new exhibiting
companies, as well as see a range of new and returning features.
As well as an ever-comprehensive conference
program, Labelexpo Americas 2012 will also feature a digital printing master
class. Aimed at converters looking to invest in digital printing for the first
time, the three and half hour session is chaired by Mike Fairley and will
highlight the main printing technologies, label substrate requirements,
workflow and color management and sales and marketing in a digital environment.
The popular technology workshops return with
a live demonstration and comparison of four machines in the Laser Die Cutting
Workshop in Hall F. Sei Spa, Spartanics, AB Graphic International and Delta
Industrial are taking part in four workshops, run by a neutral moderator with
their machines each testing a different cutter profile: blank office product
labels, prime product labels and industrial labels.
Package printing is one of the fastest
growing areas in the industry and dozens of exhibitors will be showcasing new
technologies as part of the new Package Printing Zone in Hall C. The conference
program will also feature a dedicated stream for getting started with cartons
and flexible packaging. 2012’s edition will also introduce Ecovillage which
will showcase the latest products and services designed to support a better
performing, more environmentally conscious label industry.
Labelexpo Americas will also play host to the
prestigious Label Industry Global Awards on the first night of the exhibition.
The awards program honors and rewards companies and individuals for excellence
and best practice in the labeling industry.
For social and networking activities, the
Park at Rosemont opened in spring 2012. A new entertainment development, it
boasts dynamic bars and restaurants with live music, casual dining, bowling and
outdoor patios. The perfect destination for after-show fun, the Park at
Rosemont is only a block from the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center and is
anchored by Muvico 18- Movie Theater, a number of hotels and the vibrant
Rosemont Theatre.
Roger Pellow, Labelexpo managing director,
comments: “With an array of feature areas and insightful and inspirational
conference program, this year’s Labelexpo Americas is set to be the best yet.
As the continent’s leading show for the industry, Labelexpo America is the
must-attend event for label and package printers/converters and suppliers.
Nowhere else can you network, find the latest innovations, experience the
newest technology and hear about the ways in which you can stay profitable and
keep your business ahead of the competition.”
