Monday 26th October 2015
18.00-19.30 Registration and Welcome Cocktail Reception
There are no conference sessions on this day
Join AMI in the ancient city of Cologne, Germany for the 8th edition of
the Multilayer Packaging Films conference. The international forum,
covering all aspects of the speciality flexible packaging industry, will take
place on 26-28 October 2015 at the Maritim Hotel. The 2-day programme
of technical and market presentations will provide essential data and
unique insights relevant to all companies involved in the manufacture
and specification of flexible packaging.
Flexible plastic packaging production and converting is well
established in every region of the world, bolstered by the continued
migration from rigid packs. Meanwhile, the concept and use of
flexibles continues to evolve as advancements in materials, printing
and finishing push the boundaries of application ever further.
Modern flexible packs successfully merge appearance and functionality.
For brand owners, packaging is now a fundamental aspect of the brand
offering, allowing them to communicate and engage directly with
consumers, support brand values and add differentiation at the point
of sale. At the same time, innovations in areas such as barrier polymers,
additives, adhesives and active and intelligent technologies are allowing
flexible packages to play a significant role in reducing food waste through
the protection and preservation of goods throughout the supply chain,
as well ensuring product safety and extending shelf life.
With environmental and social responsibility truly ingrained into the
business landscape, packaging has become a key element within
sustainability frameworks. Innovation in credible alternative materials
such as bio-based and compostable laminates, together with end of
life options for multilayer films will also be discussed at the conference.
Multilayer Packaging Films 2015 is a professional forum for brand
owners and flexible packaging converters to discuss the economics
and technology of new developments, alongside film processors,
machinery experts, polymer materials specialists and researchers.
To stay up-to-date with the latest trends and technologies, book your
place now for Multilayer Packaging Films 2015 in Cologne!
