7,927 visitors attended the
seventh edition of Labelexpo India which took place 29 October - 1 November at
Pragati Maidan, New Delhi. With just under 200 exhibitors taking part, the show
floor was busy with product launches and news of many installations being
agreed as numerous deals were signed on-site.
Aimed at label and package
printers, brand owners and label designers, 2014’s show saw the leading Indian
and international manufacturers showcasing their cutting edge technology.
Product launch highlights included new flexographic plate and equipment from
DuPont Packaging Graphics, HP Indigo’s WS 6800 digital press, Multitec’s two
new narrow-web label printing presses - Ecoflex VSi Servo and Ecosmart,
Nilpeter’s Indian-made FB3300S press with gravure unit, Omet’s XFlex X4 8-color
all-servo press and Rotatek’s Smartflex UV flexo press.
2014’s edition also saw the
successful debut of the Brand Innovation Summit. Held in partnership with HP
Indigo, the half day conference program was attended by several top brands
including ACG Pharma, Cipla, Coca Cola, Dabur, GSK, ITC, Morepen, Nestle, Reckitt
Benckiser and Siemens amongst others. The insightful session focused
specifically on the role and importance of label and package printing in a
brand’s design and ultimate sales performance in the Indian marketplace.
Jade Grace, event director said:
“There was a good buzz about this year’s Labelexpo India and our exhibitors
reported excellent visitor engagement with revisit numbers up 42%. This is not
purely a numbers game however and attracting the right sort of visitor is
crucial, so we are delighted to report an increase in senior decision makers
attending the show. We’ve been really satisfied with the anecdotal feedback
from our exhibitors with many of them securing large orders and generating
strong leads. We look forward to returning in 2016.”
