South China Label Show announces conference topics

The South China Label Show starts on October 25 at the Guangzhou Jinhan Exhibition Centre. The event’s organizers, the Labelexpo Global Series, report ‘strong industry demand for this new show’ as well as high visitor pre-registration.  

A number of companies will show working machinery at the event, including Xeikon, Synatax (Nipson), Zhe Jiang Wei Gang Machinery and Sanki Machinery.

The conference program will cover a wide variety of topics, with presenters including brand owners, environmental experts, key suppliers and their customers. Twelve sessions, including presentations from HP Indigo, Avery Dennison and their customers, will run over the three days with the keynote presentation being delivered by Ilkka Ylipoti, VP Asia Pacific of UPM Raflatac. This session will look at global trends of the industry and the current position of the Chinese market. It will provide an analysis on the region’s use of technology and on markets and applications.

Topics for the other conference sessions will include:

• Digital label printing – this session will give a comprehensive overview of digital technologies: inkjet, liquid and dry toner. It will also look at how to integrate digital and conventional technologies and how to use digital technology to enhance a brand.
• Environmental sustainability in the Chinese label industry – some of the questions that will be answered in this session include: ‘What is the environmental strategy of the Chinese government in areas such as carbon emissions?’; ‘Liner and matrix waste recycling – an important issue in China?’; and ‘What are the main environmental standards recognized by the Chinese government and by end users in China?’.
• Anti counterfeiting and security – this session will measure the scale of counterfeiting in China and discuss inkjet systems, security inks and a case study about combating pharmaceutical counterfeiting.  
• Brand owners/converters – the session will explore what Chinese brand owners are looking for from printers; what the opportunities are for brands using digital printing; an analysis on brand protection and counterfeiting in China; and also look at smart label technologies including RFID.    

John Davy, show director of the South China Label Show, said: ‘The South China Label Show has been very well received by the industry with exhibitor numbers and visitor pre-registration already exceeding expectations. We have noticed a distinct interest from digital players as well as a strong line-up of conventional technology providers and material and consumable suppliers. With the 12 specifically selected conference topics, we have a comprehensive and highly educational seminar program which will illustrate a number of practical case studies which will be complemented by the most recent global and Chinese market statistics. We look forward to seeing you there.’
