Labelexpo Americas is back this year with a host of new feature areas. It's all happening on the new dates of September 9-11 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, IL near Chicago.
The new features reflect the latest developments in the industry and have been created to satisfy the demand from Labelexpo visitors of the past years. The areas include: the Digital Printing Experience, the Converting and Finishing Pavilion, Gather on the Green and a newly enhanced Smart Label Zone. Each of these features will include the respective industry leaders, who will display the latest technological advances.
Brand new feature – the Digital Printing Experience A major development for Labelexpo Americas 2008 – and the first ever introduction at any Labelexpo event – is the creation of the Digital Printing Experience in Hall F. This pavilion will have the leaders in digital printing – HP, Xeikon, Epson, Sun Chemical, EFI, Konica Minolta – showcasing the latest in digital technology. Visitors will be able to see live demonstrations and review case studies of recent digital projects.
Converting and Finishing Pavilion Over 26% of label converters in North America also produce flexible packaging, so an area focusing on this sector is long-awaited for. Previous show figures indicate a 50% increase in attendance from flexible packaging and folding carton suppliers and more than half of the top 25 dedicated flexible packaging converters have already visited Labelexpo Americas in the past.
