The
growing applications for digital print in the label and packaging arena are
today a focus for both brand owners and the converting industry – and they
present both benefits and challenges. Troubleshooting these new pathways,
coupled with leading-edge success stories, are the key focus of AWA Conferences
& Events’ Ink Jet and Digital Label/Packaging Print Seminar 2013, which
takes place in Scottsdale, Arizona, USA, 29-30 January 2013, co-located with
IMI’s annual Ink Jet Conference.
Broad-ranging
program
The
program for this established annual seminar that alternates between Europe and
the USA represents an opportunity for brand owners, converters, and industry
suppliers to gain an in-depth update on the increasingly-wide base of available
options, from digital offset to UV ink jet, thermal transfer, and EB imaging;
the pre-press platforms that underlie the print capabilities; substrates, both
paper and film; and inks. Speakers include experts from many disciplines – for
example, Dr Dene Taylor, President, Specialty Papers & Films Inc; Lou
Lovoli, VP, Strategic Partnership & Marketing, Hammer Packaging Corp;
Victor Gomez, VP, Narrow Web Products, Durst Image Technology; Tom Erickson,
Plant Superintendent, The Label Printers; and Sean Skelly, VP/GM, EFI Jetrion.
Leading printing substrate suppliers UPM are the seminar’s Platinum Sponsors.
Leveraging
AWA expertise
The
global business environment in which the industry is operating will also be
examined in a review of the labeling and product decoration markets from AWA
Alexander Watson Associates’ President and CEO, Corey M Reardon.
The
2013 Inkjet & Digital Label & Packaging Seminar is now open for
registrations, which may be achieved online, where a full seminar prospectus,
and details of all AWA Conferences & Events forthcoming events and
published market reports, are also available.
