PACKAGING INNOVATIONS 2017

Packaging Innovations 2017

 

This year’s Packaging innovations event was held over two days at the start of March in Birmingham at the NEC.  This is the largest packaging event in the UK and provided an excellent opportunity for companies to showcase their business and for networking within the industry.  There were hundreds of companies within the NEC on stands sectioned out into their relevant fields.  All visitors were provided with a clear map detailing the companies present and smart badges.  The smart badges enabled you to visit the stands and provide your details to receive information and contact from the company at a later date, this meant no masses of booklets to carry around.  For those that wanted to, there were still plenty to pick up though!

The event has the world’s leading suppliers exhibiting and showcasing the newest and most inspiring primary and secondary packaging solutions.   Within the label and print field there were opportunities to see the latest finishes and innovative techniques currently available.  There were many workshops/seminars with leading big brand names passing on ideas on how to maximise business potential within the specialist field.  The day spent there provided a fantastic opening to learn about inspiring designs to incredible finishes, in addition to the most advanced technology and newest materials available.  I learnt about countless new innovative labelling machinery, new finishing techniques and bespoke solutions.  All of which I felt could provide solutions that will enable Foy Sales & Marketing to maximise our labelling, print and packaging future.
