Suppliers to host North American label industry seminars

Starting in April, the roadshow will visit Toronto (April 26), Philadelphia (April 28), Dallas (May 5) and Southern California (May 10).

Under the title ‘Securing a Successful Future’, presentations from their respective suppliers will educate on new innovation in their area of expertise. Industry analyst firm LPC will also report the results of a comprehensive market study on the North American labeling sector, conducted in the beginning of 2016. Topics being covered include the profit curve, market sizing, trends by vertical market and run size pain points for converters.

Xeikon will also welcome a number of printers already using its digital printing technology, and who will share their journeys, and talk about how digital printing helped future-proof their business and secure growth. These customers will include Action Packaging, The Label Smith, Logo Label Printing, and Lake Graphics.

David Wilkins, vice president of sales at Xeikon North America, said: ‘Today, there are new challenges and opportunities facing converters. That is why we created these seminar series – to give converters a better understanding of how digital solutions can enable them to better produce shorter run jobs. Through real-world customer experiences, industry data and demonstrations, we’ll prove how using digital presses alongside flexo solutions leads to improved efficiency and profitability. It is also a way to share information in the run up to Labelexpo later this year.’

Interested parties can register to attend one of the upcoming ‘Secure a Successful Future’ seminars at www.catchupwithlabels.com. Attendance is free, with breakfast and lunch included.

Labelexpo Americas 2016 takes place September 13-15 in Chicago. The organizer, Labelexpo Global Series, is hosting the Label & Package Printing Day in Toronto on May 10 for the Canadian print market. This event is also free to attend.
