This year’s FINAT Technical Seminar will place a focus on the role of technology in adding value into labels and packaging.
Taking place 4-6 March 2020 at the Crowne Plaza Barcelona Fira Center, the 1.5 day programme will provide a deeper understanding into various aspects of label converting technologies along the value chain.
The extent to which digital will play a part in the event has previously been detailed, including an assessment of digital, flexo and hybrid technologies, a technology overview and a comparison of their respective strengths and weaknesses.
Moreover, two plenary and two parallel sessions, and 23 expert speakers, will provide attendees with an update on the latest status with regards to legislation, materials science, converting technology and innovation.
A large part of the meeting will be dedicated to the future of self-adhesive labelling. What impact will EU legislation and the circular economy have on the way self-adhesive labels are produced? What critical issues does the label industry face around food contact regulations, sustainability and recycling? How can the industry, work together to proactively provide options to handle release liner or matrix by-products, and provide guidance on best practices in areas like UV curing for food packaging?
Registration is open until 14 February, with FINAT members paying €675 and non-members €850.
