CCE International 2019: International exhibitors present innovative technologies and products for the corrugated and folding carton industry

The growing online trade and trend towards recyclable and sustainable packaging have a positive impact on the corrugated and folding carton industry: No other material is better known for its sustainability than corrugated and cartonboard. Challenges include the constantly accelerating retail business as well as the increasing demand for digitalised packaging and individualised products. Digital print offers enhanced opportunities to meet these demands. ‘We see enormous potential for digital print on corrugated and cartonboard. The question is how the industry sector can make optimum use of this technology’, says Liljana Goszdziewski, Exhibition Director of CCE International, on behalf of the organisers, Mack Brooks Exhibitions. ‘At this year’s show, visitors will discover the diverse applications of the latest printing and finishing techniques. A key feature of our trade fair is the intense exchange of ideas at the stands, which facilitates the joint developm ent of specific production solutions. We currently see a boost of innovations in the industry, primarily due to digital technologies’, Liljana Goszdziewski continues.

Free seminar programme
Important technology trends will also be covered in the free seminar programme at CCE International 2019. On all three days of the show, industry experts will talk about the key topic ‘Digital Print’ as well as ‘Sustainability’ and ‘Innovative Converting Techniques’, share their knowledge with the audience, and lead open discussions. The many presentations include seminars such as ‘Digital Trends in Corrugated – The Perspective from a MIS’ by the company Kiwiplan Europe, ‘Maximising Folder-Gluer Performance‘ by the company Leary Co., W. H., and ‘Start with Finishing! The Smart Way to go Digital’ by the company Highcon.
