Head of Events, Duncan MacOwan at FESPA comments: “We’ve received a strong level of commitment from exhibitors for the first Digital Corrugated Experience and we’re excited for FESPA 2018 visitors – both PSPs and converters – to see how they can reap the benefits of digital printing for corrugated packaging and POS displays. We’re delighted to be able to offer the sample comparison area to visitors, a first at a FESPA event, to provide them with the opportunity to compare the same file produced by different machinery manufacturers. Along with our corrugated conference offering, visitors will find plentiful support to help them explore how to take advantage of opportunities in digitally printed packaging.”
