For the tenth year running, the sleeve labeling sector of the world’s packaging industry will come together at the AWA International Sleeve Label Conference and Exhibition on 3 and 4 March.   Taking place this  year  in Denver, Colorado’s Grand Hyatt Hotel, the event explores every aspect of this dynamic business sector. 

Program features

David Silverstein, founder and CEO of leading operational strategy consultants BMGI, delivers the conference keynote;  and the full agenda features speaker topics that include M&A activity;  technology innovation and trends;  competitive ‘labeling’ technologies, including pouches;  can decoration; developments in inks; and AWA’s in-depth market statistics and live ‘real-time’ industry survey with delegates.   Two interactive panel discussions with the delegates featuring leading industry participants – one on industry trends in general and the other on the status quo in shrink sleeve recycling – are additional highlights.

Extensive industry sponsor support

The AWA International Sleeve Label Conference and Exhibition is sponsored by industry-leading companies across the value chain, including Platinum Sponsors Accraply, Eastman, Far Eastern New Century, and Verst Group Logistics, and supported by the Association of Postconsumer Plastic Recyclers.

AWA Sleeve Label Awards presentations

As well as a lively tabletop exhibition and extensive networking opportunities throughout the program, the event will also host the presentation of the AWA Sleeve Sleeve Label Awards 2016 – a competition inaugurated last year by AWA Alexander Watson Associates to recognize the multiplicity of creative and technological achievements in sleeve labeling applications today.
