On 4 March 2021, the Tarsus Group, organizer of the Labelexpo Global Series of exhibitions and summits, announced that Labelexpo Europe is again postponed and will now occur at the Brussels Expo Centre on 26-29 April 2022.

Meanwhile, the next edition of Labelexpo Americas will take place on 13-15 September 2022 at the Donald E Stevens Conventional Center in Rosemont, Chicago. At the same time, Tarsus announced a new event, Label Congress 2021, to take place from 29 September to 1 October 2021, also at the Donald E. Stevens Convention Center.

The Label Congress 2021 includes conference sessions covering all areas of the label and package print technology and markets, an educational stream, Label Academy Live, and an exhibition of new technology, with leading suppliers displaying their latest equipment, software and services. The congress and educational sessions will also be broadcast to a global audience.

Label Congress 2021 – a physical gathering for the US label industry

Lisa Milburn, managing director of the Tarsus Labels, Packaging and Brand Print group, commented, “Due to continuing uncertainty about the speed of the vaccine rollout in Europe and the ability of our global visitors to travel to Brussels, we have made the decision, in consultation with our exhibitors, to postpone Labelexpo Europe until April 2022. Label Congress 2021 will be our first physical gathering for the US label industry since the pandemic began, and we look forward to welcoming attendees to this keynote event.”

Chris Ellison, managing director of OPM Labels & Packaging group and president of European label federation FINAT, commented, “It is definitely the right decision to move Labelexpo Europe to April 2022, when we should have returned to some sort of normality as regards international travel and social mixing. I, for one, cannot wait. I am really missing the buzz from walking the aisles of the world’s leading label show, seeing first-hand new technology from the world’s leading suppliers, meeting with old friends, and making new contacts.”

The impact, resilience, and growth of responsible packaging in a wide region are daily chronicled by Packaging South Asia.

A multi-channel B2B publication and digital platform such as Packaging South Asia is always aware of the prospect of new beginnings and renewal. Its 16-year-old print monthly, based in New Delhi, India has demonstrated its commitment to progress and growth. The Indian and Asian packaging industries have shown resilience in the face of ongoing challenges over the past three years.

As we present our publishing plan for 2023, India’s real GDP growth for the financial year ending 31 March 2023 will reach 6.3%. Packaging industry growth has exceeded GDP growth even when allowing for inflation in the past three years.

The capacity for flexible film manufacturing in India increased by 33% over the past three years. With orders in place, we expect another 33% capacity addition from 2023 to 2025. Capacities in monocartons, corrugation, aseptic liquid packaging, and labels have grown similarly. The numbers are positive for most of the economies in the region – our platform increasingly reaches and influences these.

Even given the disruptions of supply chains, raw material prices, and the challenge of responsible and sustainable packaging, packaging in all its creative forms and purposes has significant headroom to grow in India and Asia. Our context and coverage engulf the entire packaging supply chain – from concept to shelf and further – to waste collection and recycling. We target brand owners, product managers, raw material suppliers, packaging designers and converters, and recyclers.
