Countdown begins for Labelexpo Europe 2015

Registration will open later this month for Labelexpo Europe 2015 which is set to return to Brussels Expo between 29 September 29 - 2 October. With a plethora of new feature areas and big names exhibiting, Labelexpo Europe 2015 is well on its way to being the biggest ever in the show’s 35 year history.

Attracting a record breaking 31,795 show visitors back in 2013 from 158 countries, Labelexpo Europe is aimed at FMCG brand owners, label designers, label and package printers, general printers and industry suppliers.
Covering an unprecedented eight exhibition halls, over 600 exhibitors will be demonstrating the latest cutting-edge technologies and solutions at 2015’s edition.

While labels remain front and center of the overall Labelexpo Europe experience, the show will throw a bigger spotlight on package printing and design.
Included in the entry cost, visitors will have access to a range of new feature areas. The Packprint Workshop will provide expert and practical advice on how printers can take the first steps into diversifying and growing their business into folding cartons and flexible packaging.

Similarly the brand new Smart Packaging Lab will focus on opportunities in intelligent and active labeling and packaging. Rounding up the most up to date methods for engaging and interacting with consumers, the feature also will explore the latest advances in substrates, inks, digital systems and highlight techniques for combating anti-counterfeiting and brand protection.

Also being held for the first time, the Packaging Design Studio will give show visitors the opportunity to meet and network with some of the industry’s leading creative label and packaging designers.
2015’s show will also include multiple paid-for master classes with Labelexpo’s very own label guru Mike Fairley sharing his expertise on digital printing as part of the recently launched Label Academy. Another big draw will be the 12th Label Industry Global Awards and gala dinner on the first night of the show where the industry’s trailblazers and their finest efforts in pioneering innovation and sustainability will be recognized and honored.

Technological show. As usual, the main attraction at Labelexpo Europe will be the unbeatable chance to see the latest big machine displays, live demonstrations and leading-edge materials. The show will again deliver a global showcase of the newest product innovations and visitors will be able to see and compare a wide range of technologies including flexo, digital and inkjet as well as a range of hybrid systems. All of the industry’s leading suppliers will be there including HP, Avery Dennison, Domino, Durst, Epson, Esko, Gallus, Mark Andy, Nilpeter, Nuova Gidue, Omet, Prati, UPM Raflatac and Xeikon. There will be many new exhibitors also taking part for the first time including Goss International Europe, KBA-MePrint and Scodix.

Whether you’re looking for new suppliers, wanting to find out about the latest trends or simply see how the latest technologies perform and how they could transform your business, Labelexpo Europe offers something for you. But beware, it’s only on for four days, so plan your visit with military precision!
