FINAT Technical Seminar 2018 - Call for papers |
|
FINAT will return to Barcelona from 7-9 March 2018 for the next Technical Seminar. Titled “CHALLENGES TO THE LABEL MARKET” FINAT is now calling for papers for the 2018 event. The focus for 2018 will be on the technical challenges faced by label producers including pre-press operations, label printing and converting. It will review how our industry is changing to meet these challenges by looking at developments in printing technology, pre-press operations, converting & printing inks. The 2018 seminar will also include an interactive ‘troubleshooting’ workshop session with the help of industry technical experts, where we can explore (through the use of an ‘imaginary’ case study of a typical label manufacturing company, FinatCo), a number of different scenarios based on common technical challenges being faced by label manufacturers. We are looking for papers covering the entire supply chain for label production: pre-press operations, label manufacturing, label printing, inks, label converting, label design and use, raw materials for labels (papers, films, foils, adhesives, silicones and varnishes). Papers should highlight the challenges that self-adhesive materials are facing in the label market and how these can be overcome. If you want to take up the challenge to show how our industry is meeting or will meet these challenges to the label market, then please send your proposal before 1 August to info@FINAT.com marking your email ‘FINAT Technical Seminar 2018’ and containing the title of the paper and a short abstract (400-500 words) detailing the content and technical nature of the presentation. |
