Expanded Digital Summit to return to Barcelona in June

Following the success of the first Digital Label Summit and the Digital Label Experience at Labelexpo Europe in 2009, the organizers of the Labelexpo Global Series have announced that the Digital Label Summit 2010 will take place from the 29-30 of June at the Hotel Rey Juan Carlos I in Barcelona.

With a conference and table-top exhibition, the Digital Label Summit 2010 will feature strong educational content. The conference will include industry experts presenting case studies and participating in panels that will explore new technologies and applications for digital printing of labels, tickets/tags and flexible packaging. It will also assess opportunities for combination printing. Brand owners will be invited to talk about their experience of digitally printed labels and packs and their expectations for the future developments.     

Exhibitors will include machine manufacturers of liquid-toner, dry-toner and inkjet technologies as well as suppliers of multiple substrates, pre-press origination, digital plate-making and die-cutting, digital proofing and all ancillary products.

Mike Fairley, director of strategic development for Tarsus, said: ‘Following the success of the Digital Label Summit last year, it makes sense to continue the event in 2010. All developments and trends, together with new advances in digital pre-press, digital finishing and die-cutting, and the fast-evolving end-user applications for digital printing, will be examined and discussed at the summit. Label converters, packaging printers, label and pack designers and brand owners looking to know where their business will be competing and growing in the future should most definitely be at the Digital Label Summit in Barcelona.’

Roger Pellow, Labelexpo managing director, commented: ‘Digital printing has really excelled over the last year. With a number of UV inkjet presses being launched and installed since the last Digital Label Summit in 2009, it is clear that the industry’s interest and demand for this technology will continue to grow at a very fast rate.’
