ESMA, the European Association of Speciality, Functional and Industrial Printing closes 2015 with two ‘back-to-back’ events: The very first Direct Container Print and the sixth edition of GlassPrint. Limited delegate spaces are still available. “Among several conferences organized by ESMA in recent years including five editions of GlassPrint, we have noticed increasing interest not only in glass containers but also a need to look into new approaches in plastic packaging, its inscription and designation. Every year innovative technologies are offered to the market, therefore it is our goal to inform both the print and packaging industries about the latest direct decoration possibilities for bottles, cups, tubes, and sleeves,” says Peter Buttiens, CEO of ESMA. Direct Container Print (23-24. November 2015) will open with the keynote speech by Florian Lauterbach presenting Krones Decotype – the future of container decoration by digital direct printing. Further 17 presentations will follow and focus on low migration inks, substrate requirements, computer-to-screen, UV curing but also on the role of innovative packaging in brand enhancement and engagement. Some of the industry experts attending the conference will join the panel discussion to answer the questions coming from delegates. The live panel discussion focussing on the key issues affecting the current and future market, will also enter the programme of GlassPrint 2015, the successful and unique European conference dedicated to glass decoration. GlassPrint takes place in direct connection to DCP, on 25-26 November 2015, and features 22 presentations. The programme, covering the latest screen and digital technology for decorating not only hollow glass but architectural and automotive too, already attracted registrations from industry leaders at Allied Glass, Deco Glas, Bormioli Luigi, InBev, NSG, O-I, PSL, Rastal, Sahm, Schott, Sisecam and many more.
