Xsys announced a price increase for ThermoFlexX products
Xeikonhas confirmed its participation at Print4All 2022. After a four-year break, the major Italian printing and converting show returns to Fiera Milano on 3–6 May 2022. Setting up shop in Hall 11P on stand D18, the Xeikonexpert team will be on hand to discuss the complete portfolio of printing technologies for the graphic arts and labels and packaging sectors.
As the print industry gets ready to meet again during the Print4All exhibition, Xeikon reaffirms its commitment to trade shows and the importance of having the opportunity to network in person.
“We are very excited to finally we will be able to speak to visitors face-to-face at this important show after the challenges of the past two years,” said Domenico Beraldi, sales manager of Graphics Arts. “Xeikon always has a great story to tell. So naturally, we continue to innovate and develop industry-specific applications that will give our customers a competitive edge and help them create sustainable solutions for their brand owner customers.”
Xeikon to display good quality print samples at the stand
The stand will be packed with information and print samples that demonstrate the power of digital print for a wide variety of high-quality applications, such as books on demand, wallpaper decoration, point-of-sale display for the graphic arts market, and self-adhesive labels, flexible packaging, pouches, folding cartons, in-mold labels and paper cups for the labels and packaging sector. There will also be technology videos running to allow visitors to see Xeikon presses in action and ask more questions.
One corner will be fully dedicated to Idera – Xeikon’s breakthrough water-based inkjet press for corrugated packaging. The food-safe and regulatory compliant technology build on Xeikon’s 30+ years of digital expertise coupled with Flint Group’s deep knowledge of corrugated manufacturing to offer a transformation of the post-print market.
Beraldi concludes, “I think I speak for everyone when we are all a little tired of connecting virtually. While communication technology has been a real lifeline during the pandemic, being able to speak to customers in person is vital to keeping the heart of our industry beating strong, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to our stand at Print4All.”
Packaging South Asia — resilient, growing and impactful — daily, monthly — always responsive
The multi-channel B2B in print and digital 17-year-old platform matches the industry’s growth trajectory. The Indian, South Asian, Southeast Asian, and Middle East packaging industries are looking beyond the resilience of the past three years. They are resuming capacity expansion and diversification, with high technology and automation in new plants and projects.
As we present our 2024 publishing plan, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2024 will exceed 6%. The packaging industry growth will match the GDP growth in volume terms and surpass it by at least 3% in terms of nominal growth allowing for price inflation in energy, raw materials, consumables, and capital equipment.
The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 45% over the past four years. With orders in place, we expect another 20% capacity addition in 2024 and 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels are grown similarly. As the consumption story returns over the next six months, we expect demand to return and exceed the growth trajectory of previous years. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – and as shown by our analytics, our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.
For responsible and sustainable packaging, with its attendant regulations and compliances, there is significant headroom to grow in India and the region. Our coverage includes the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and to waste collection, sorting, and recycling.
We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers. This is a large and complex canvas – the only thing that can work is your agile thinking and innovation together with our continuous learning and persistence.
The coming year looks to be an up year in this region, and this is the right time to plan your participation and marketing communication – in our rich and highly targeted business platform with human resources on the ground. Share your thoughts and plans and to inspire and mobilize our editorial and advertising teams!
