AWA said the market for in-mold labeling and in-mold decoration is growing, with interesting future prospects, with its event designed to deliver a review of technology, markets and trends for everyone in the value chain.

The 2015 event will feature two concurrent sessions dedicated specifically to IML and IMD. AWA said this will enable a more focused, in-depth discussion of the respective technologies and applications. The two sessions will complement A general conference and table-top exhibition.

Speakers will represent the entire value chain, from technology sectors such as die-cutting, MuCell technology, thermoforming and thin recess injection molding. AWA IMLCON & IMDCON 2015 is sponsored by suppliers such as Berhalter, Illig Maschinenbau, Precision Press, Taghleef Industries and Yupo Corporation.

The program also includes details on merger and acquisition, and consolidation activity within the global packaging and label industry, and in-depth market data from AWA’s ongoing research.

AWA president and chief executive officer Corey Reardon said: ‘‘It is a one-of-a-kind event focused on the in-mold labeling and in-mold decorating market. It attracts delegates and brand owners from around the world and is a must-attend industry conference.’  

Early bird discounts on the registration fee are offered until January 1, 2015. Full program details, as well as online registration, are available via the AWA website, www.awa-bv.com.
