The Institute of Packaging Professionals and The Packaging Society are the latest associations to align itself with North Print & Pack 2013, which takes place on 14-16May in Harrogate.
This year’s edition of the biennial show – which has widened its scope to include packaging and rebranded from its previous name of North Print – promises wider coverage of packaging than ever before.
Working print presses will feature at the show for the first time since 2007, while a comprehensive conference programme will cover the latest trends and issues currently facing packaging.
Both the IoPP and the Packaging Society will be taking part in the conference programme.
Kevin Vyse, managing director of the IoPP, said: “North Print & Pack 2013 is the ideal event for packaging printers and print service providers looking to expand their offering.
“Not only will they have the opportunity to speak to the industry’s key manufacturers who will all be under one roof, but the seminar programme will give them the added benefit to hear case studies and advice that can benefit them and their businesses.”
Packaging Society chairman Keith Barnes added that the show was “an ideal event for us and our members to attend, as it’s the perfect platform to view and discuss the latest print for packaging market trends and case studies”.
“We look forward to working closely with the organisers over the next few months and getting our members involved with the show.”
Angelina Stojsavljevic, marketing manager for North Print & Pack 2013, said: “The fantastic level of support we are getting from the UK’s packaging industry is testimony to the industry’s need for an event that reflects the appetite of the print industry.
“We will be working closely with these associations in the upcoming months to ensure their members reap the benefits from attending North Print & Pack 2013.”
