The Smart Label Zone is enlarged this year to gather the best examples of smart labels and the RFID technology suppliers. Here visitors will be able to see the emerging national and international trends in the RFID technology, anti-counterfeiting, brand protection and time/temperature indicators. Exhibitors in this special area of the show will include bielomatik, Melzer, Mühlbauer, Grillstone to name a few.
Gather on the Green was created to satisfy the requests from past shows' visitors to see the latest developments in green and sustainable technology. In addition, the labeling industry is fully aware that it needs to stay abreast with all the changes in the legislation and, for this reason, the new Gather on the Green Pavilion have gathered suppliers who will demonstrate original materials they developed that help reduce the impact on the environment.
As previously, Labelexpo Americas 2008 will have a high-level conference, organized in collaboration with TLMI. The conference program will look at the current trends in both local and global markets highlighting areas for potential growth and development, covering security and brand protection, environmental issues and relevant legislation, managing in an uncertain economy, latest trends in technologies and the pressroom of the future.
Labelexpo Americas will also feature the prestigious Label Industry Global Awards, now in their fifth year. The awards recognize and celebrate excellence in printing and labeling. Representatives from the industry are invited to vote by the end of May for the winners online at www.labelawards.com. The winners' names will be revealed at a gala dinner on the opening day of Labelexpo Americas.
Commenting on the upcoming show, Roger Pellow, Labelexpo Managing Director, said: "Labelexpo Americas provides a unique forum for converters in this market to get together and learn about the latest technologies, and to explore new opportunities in the market. As a well-established show, we continuously look for ways to develop the event to satisfy both exhibitors' aspirations and visitors' needs. We are very pleased with the feedback we've had on these new floor additions and we look forward to another successful show this September."
