    Labelexpo Americas 2018 Records Largest Show to Date

    A total of 487 exhibitors were present at the 16th edition of the biennial trade show.

    Labelexpo Americas 2018 Records Largest Show to Date
    10.09.18
    A total of 487 exhibitors were present at the 16th edition of the biennial trade show Labelexpo, which was the largest in its history, according to the organizer.  

    Nearly 30% of the exhibitors on the 203,642-square-foot floor at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago were new to this year's show, which ran Sept. 25-27. 

    By the end of day three, the show organizer reported an 83% rebook rate for its 2020 event.

    The show's organizer reported a total of 16,413 attendees from 86 countries.

    Labelexpo Americas 2018 featured key press unveilings including the Mark Andy P9E, P7E, and P5E; Xeikon’s entry-level label printing and converting option, Label Discovery; Epson’s UV LED cured L-6534 digital press; Grafisk Maskinfabrik’s DC330Mini converting machine; and AB Graphic’s new ILC760 in-line coating machine.  
        
    Among the many innovations launched at the show were Avery Dennison’s heat sealable reclosure technology; Flint Group’s portfolio of food compliant inks for short-run flexible packaging including the web-based Vivi Colour Solutions; Phoseon Technology’s FireJet FJ605, a self-contained and air-cooled UV LED curing lamp for flexographic applications; Kodak’s Flexcel NX Ultra Solution, a solvent-free, VOC-free, water-based system; and GEW’s E4C UV curing system, engineered to offer converters access to higher power in a compact footprint.
        
    “The tremendous feedback we’ve had from exhibitors and visitors alike at this year’s Labelexpo Americas demonstrates that there’s a real momentum in the industry right now, and that was reflected in the buyer’s mood, with numerous sales achieved on the show floor and a strong international focus," said Tasha Ventimiglia, Labelexpo Americas event director. "This year’s theme ‘Explore your Future’ really was evident, with more fascinating innovations than ever before providing even more choice for buyers, and a significant increase in exhibitors. It really shows that press manufacturers and the industry supply chain are upping their game. The Automation Arena and TLMI Ecovillage proved to be huge hits, with many packed out demonstrations on the show floor, and are further proof that the industry continues to evolve."
        
    Three Label Academy master classes were led by Mike Fairley and Andy Thomas-Emans, covering shrink sleeves; inks, coatings and varnishes; and MIS workflow automation. This was complemented by a packed two-day conference program, with highlights including a CEO converter panel discussion presided over by Craig Moreland, a panel discussion on package printing, plus sessions on workforce development, flexible packaging, and creating products with stand-out presence.    
        
    “I can tell you that from my personal perspective, and for Zeller+Gmelin as an exhibitor, Tuesday and Wednesday were probably the best two trade show experiences I can recall for my almost 40 years in the industry,"  said Ed Dedman, flexo technical support/product manager, Zeller+Gmelin.
