INNOVATIVE PACKAGING DESIGN and LABELLING TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE 2011 is a two day interactive conference and exhibition geared towards addressing the challenges and new global trends within the packaging spectrum.
All products be they 'goods' or 'services' or a combination of the two have a finite commercial life. Whereas in the days of our grandparents a product's life cycle would be measured in several decades, today few (consumer) products can be expected to last more than five, let alone ten years and this particularly applies in IT markets and household consumables such as cleaning products, Convenience/Fast Foods for home consumption, Cosmetics, Financial Services etc.
Although B2B Markets are more immune to this increasingly rapid obsolescence of their products, the rate of obsolescence is especially unforgiving in Consumer Markets. Hence the need for a constant stream of new product ideas to feed the new need for packaging innovation, labelling and imaging. In today's markets especially, our motto must be 'innovate or start packing'.
This two day conference sessions and exhibition will provide delegates to examine discuss and explain the critical tools and approaches to Packaging Innovation, Labelling and Imaging Solutions and commercialisation required by today's business atmosphere just to stay vibrant and interesting to consumers.
Sustainability and the environment are at the forefront of global debate. This programme is designed to help you understand what sustainability means for your company and how to start applying its principles to your business, implement small changes to your existing packaging systems while maintaining your bottom line.
This event will give you insights on creating functional packaging to meet end-users growing expectation, how to benchmark environmental issues and their influences in the packaging of tomorrow, understanding ethical consumerism and its impact on brand packaging and benchmarking the concept of product stewardship also, more knowledge on the added value of packaging through good design, innovation and sustainability and through increasing your ROI's.
