End-users will be invited to talk about their digital requirements and expectations for the future developments.

Emphasizing the significance of this event Mike Fairley, the world leading consultant on labels and packaging, said: "Recently our industry has seen the move of digital printing technology from niche into mainstream to join flexo, UV flexo, offset and letterpress processes.

Digital has become an integral part of today's label and packaging production and is now accepted by leading brand owners and print buyers worldwide. This event is undoubtedly a showcase for the future of our industry."

Commenting on the news of the launch, Roger Pellow, Labels Group Managing Director, said: "Digital printing has existed for over 20 years. However, it is now a reality for the label industry. Currently some 14% of all new narrow-web press installations are digital, with this figure expected to rise to between 20 and 30% over the next 5 to 10 years.

For the future of printing technologies, digital printing will play a key role, due to its functionality and seamless combination with online communications. Digital printing will provide new ways of servicing the industry.

And for these reasons, for any printer/converter who wants to understand and learn about future opportunities of digital printing and in addition network with their peers, experts and end-users the Summit is a must to attend. Getting involved in digital is something all companies should consider."
