Labelexpo Europe 2011: L&L coverage round-up

L&L’s global team of reporters and industry experts take an in-depth look at the technology trends and equipment launches at this year’s Labelexpo Europe exhibition

Labelexpo Europe 2011 broke all previous records in terms of visitors, exhibitors and equipment sales. Over 28,000 visitors from 118 countries attended the show – an increase of 18.6 percent over the 2009 edition. Exhibitors had been nervous about how many converters would visit the show – and whether they would be in a buying mood – given the poor state of the Eurozone economy. But they reported buoyant trade with a high level of machinery and material sales confirmed.

Here we bring together the L&L team's extensive coverage of the event, with links to reviews of various technology areas and a series of Labelexpo blogs.
