Finat to exhibit at Labelexpo Europe 2025

Finat, the European association for the international label industry, will exhibit at Stand 4E49 at Labelexpo Europe 2025, taking place from September 16 to 19 at Fira Barcelona Gran Via. Following the Finat European Label Forum earlier this year, the association plans to meet with members, partners and the wider label community at Labelexpo. 

Visitors to Finat’s booth will be able to meet with experts and peers from across the label value chain to discuss business, technology, regulation and marketing trends. They can learn how Finat's technical, sustainability, marketing and regulatory groups are shaping the industry's future and how to get involved. Visitors can explore the latest Finat reports, whitepapers and video content, in addition to learning about Celab-Europe, Finat's cross-industry platform for release liner recycling and circular technology in the label industry. They can gain insights into the state and direction of the European label market and see the winning entries of the 2025 Finat Label Competition. Visitors will also be able to enjoy a complimentary drink while networking and conveniently charging their mobile devices. Finat will also share information on how to enter the next competition and upcoming events, and distribute copies of the Finat Technical Handbook.

Finat board members, working group leaders and taskforce experts will be present at the booth throughout Labelexpo. 

Additionally, the association will highlight the work of the Finat Young Professionals Network (YPN), a platform that empowers the next generation of label industry leaders. YPN fosters personal growth, innovation and open dialogue through online and in-person events. The Nilpeter booth at Stand 3D55 will host the YPN Drinks & Networking Event on Wednesday, September 17, from 4:30 to 5:30 pm CET. 

Looking ahead, Finat is launching the Finat eLearning Platform. Starting in 2026, this platform will offer professionally produced online learning experiences designed to build expertise, foster innovation and support career development.

The first course, 'Label Printing Essentials', will provide a comprehensive and accessible introduction to label printing, aimed at newcomers and professionals seeking to sharpen their foundational knowledge. Developed to the standards of the Open University, the course will include engaging multimedia, interactive assessments and certification upon completion.
