Labelexpo Europe 2019 announces details of Flexible Packaging Arena show feature

Narrow web label converters looking to enter the fast-growing flexible packaging market will learn everything they need to know at the Labelexpo Europe 2019 Flexible Packaging Arena.

Seen for the very first time at the show, the Flexible Packaging Arena will showcase both conventional and digital converting of stand-up pouches to GMP quality assurance standards, along with information on the opportunities currently offered by short run value added flexible packaging on mid-web in-line presses.

BOBST and its REVO partners Apex, AVT, DuPont, Esko, Flint Group and X-Rite Pantone will show a conventional BOBST M6 combination press with in-line lamination – including a world-first showing of GEW’s multi-point UV monitor (mUVm) in-line UV dose monitoring system. Xeikon will show for the first time its CX500 digital press in-line with a new pouch laminating system.

There will be 30-minute Flexible Packaging Arena demonstrations running several times a day over the four  days of Labelexpo Europe 2019. They will also include a presentation from the industry-wide UVFoodSafe group on the work it is conducting on best practice in UV curing of indirect food contact materials.

Each session will be filmed live and relayed via large screens to show visitors. Sample packs will be available and representatives from the companies involved will be on hand to answer more detailed questions.

Flexible packaging is one of the fastest growing and most exciting areas of the label and package printing industry, so we decided to incorporate it as a major feature at our 40th anniversary edition of Labelexpo Europe. We strongly encourage visitors to come along to at least one demonstration during the show and see this fantastic collaboration in action.

Lisa Milburn, Managing Director of Labelexpo Global Series

Show visitors can further deepen their flexible packaging knowledge by joining the Flexible Packaging master class, taking place on Thursday 26 September and run by industry expert Mike Fairley, author of the Label Academy guide to flexible packaging production. Additionally, they will be able to view HP’s food packaging compliant flexible packs on the HP Indigo stand.

Labelexpo Europe 2019 takes place from 24-27 September at Brussels Expo. The show is spread across nine exhibition halls, with over 600 exhibitors taking part. For further information about the Flexible Packaging Arena, visit the dedicated web page
