Get close to what's hot at Ipex vendor seminars
Ipex 2006 is giving visitors the opportunity to take advantage of the free vendor seminars that will be staged throughout the show.
Bespoke zones focusing on areas such as MIS, large format and paper will highlight how business innovations are affecting all areas of the print industry," she added.
The addition of Hall 20 is designed to maximise the visitor experience by allowing a seamless flow of traffic from the other areas of the show.
As well as having its own entrance, the hall can also be accessed directly from Hall 6, which is also dedicated to pre-press.
Further details of the features within Hall 20 will be released over the coming months added IIR.
The Ipex team has also announced an important change to its hall layout, in a move to provide a higher profile for paper converting and packaging production.
Originally located in Hall 5, those functions have now been transferred to Halls 1, 2 and 3 as part of an integrated post-press area.
Commenting on the decision, Exhibition Director Trevor Crawford said: "As the lines between post-press and converting are becoming increasingly blurred, we've been working closely with exhibitor to find the best solution in terms of location.
The decision to move to Halls 1, 2 and 3 will also benefit visitors to Ipex 2006 by providing them with an end-to-end representation of the print and packaging industry in a single area." The halls will showcase the complete packaging workflow, with flexographic printing, die-cutting, folding and gluing, corrugated and board conversion, inspection and accessories all in one zone.
An area over 20,000 square metres is available and 80 per cent of that had already been reserved by companies such as Bobst, Bielomatic, Kober PaperLink, Winkler+Dunnebier, BHS, Cerutti and Vega added Crawford.
