'Tis the season to host trade expos and September is not just about the unfortunate co-timing of Printing United (Las Vegas), Labelexpo (Chicago) but also SuperCorr for the corrugated industry in Orlando. All three cover Sept 10th-12th although SuperCorr is a 5-day show and started on 8th. EFI is there.
The SuperCorrExpo 2024 is on now in Orlando FL
By now, all the Australian/New Zealand delegates to Printing United and/or Labelexpo will be relaxing befor the openings, US times. But, there is another important industry expo and conference is on in Orlando, Florida - and its 5 not 3 days and is sold out! Why? Well corrugated boxes are one of the fastest growing areas of the print & packaging industry. Driven by online purchases, the notion of the old 'brown box' has been morphed into a marketing tool with full colour graphics and, courtesy of inkjet digital, short on-demand runs. Boxes, cartons and POS displays can be made by any printer with a flatbed and table cutter - even in onsies and twosies - but the corrugated business is much bigger than that; valued at USD$213 billion in 2023 and growing at 6.4% CAGR - beat that!
EFI is a leader in digital inkjet technologies for corrugated packaging and display production, is showcasing the winning production capabilities of its versatile industrial inkjet portfolio at the 2024 SuperCorrExpo in Orlando. With its broad range of preferred solutions, EFI continues to push the boundaries of industrial digital printing to help independent sheet plants, box manufacturers, and integrated paper and packaging producers drive greater efficiency, sustainability and profitability.
