The stage is set for the LMAI Conference 2023 scheduled for 20 – 23 July 2023 at The Leela Palace, Jaipur. Organized by the Label Manufacturers Association of India (LMAI), a central body promoting label manufacturers and their suppliers across India, the event is taking place after a hiatus of four years – aiming to get bigger and better. The focus areas this year are sustainability and innovation among others.
“With the support of our members and partners, we have come out of the challenges of the past few years stronger than ever before. We have come out more united, to change the way our industry does business and evolve with the new dynamic scenario,” said a press release from LMAI.
Weldon Celloplast, Kwality Labels, Newgen Printonics, Flexo Image Graphics, Alliance Printech, Gallus, Heidelberg, Vetaphone, Omet, and Brotech are among the label machine manufacturers that will attend the 2023 conference.
Aryaman Julka, sales engineer of Alliance Printech, said, “Conferences like these are rather important since the packaging industry is growing at a great pace. The label manufacturers also need to touch base with each other from time to time and this conference facilitates that. This is a great networking opportunity for a second-generation provider such as me to know what new technologies and/or setbacks we need to work on.”
Creativity, sustainability, and innovation
This year’s theme is the gold standard that the labeling industry seeks to adopt to deliver results in the new-age scenario. To bring innovations in various processes, applications, and materials so that the industry can deliver solutions that are not only creative and out of the box but also solutions that are sustainable for the environment and make optimum use of resources.

First of all, there are four things to consider that influence a business ecosystem — earth, government, consumer, and brand. Our discussions will be about these factors and how they will affect the packaging industry.”
