ESMA DIRECT CONTAINER PRINT 2017 RETURNS AND ANNOUNCES FIRST PROGRAMME DETAILS

Building on the successful launch two years ago, Direct Container Print (DCP) conference returns to Radisson Blu Scandinavia Hotel on 27-28th of November 2017. Organised by ESMA with media support of “Specialist Printing Worldwide”, this event brings together key industry players who discuss the latest achievements in direct-to-object decoration on plastics from the perspective of machine manufacturers, ink suppliers, colour management experts and curing systems providers. Delegates – printers, designers, packaging manufacturers and brand owners – are offered a comprehensive look into technologies suitable for different applications.

EXHIBITORS AND SPEAKERS
Live panel discussion during DCP 2017Among those who have already joined the conference and the accompanying tabletop exhibition, are: ColorGATE, Gallus, Heidelberg, Global Inkjet Systems, Integration Technology, Isimat, KBA Kammann, Lüscher Technologies, Marabu, OMSO, Polytype, RKS, RUCO, Sefar and Sun Chemical. This line-up guarantees a comprehensive and in-depth look into currently available solutions both from the digital inkjet and screen printing side. “It is our goal to demonstrate and explain technical opportunities which respond to the specifics of such distinct and demanding markets as food and beverages, personal care, cosmetics or pharmaceuticals. During DCP, we discuss aspects ranging from food safe inks, to adaptable or standalone printing systems, handling variable data and mass customisation techniques”, says Peter Buttiens, CEO of ESMA.
