FPLMA FORUM SET FOR MARCH

The FPLMA 2023 Packaging Forum and Awards Dinner Dance, slated for the beginning of March in Melbourne, is heading for strong participation from within the printing industry.

Anthony Dalleore, secretary of the flexible packaging and label manufacturers association, believes this is due to the wide range of speakers attending from Europe, Italy, the Asia Pacific and the US. He said, “Our overseas speaker contingent has never been so strong, and this is complemented by having leading industry leaders and FMCG’s speak at the conference.”

Focus for the two day conference is ‘Creation to Consumer’. Speakers will cover topics ranging from developing standards relating to material design for recyclability, through to printing concepts, and how they fit to sustainability.

Latest technological developments in the field of labels, gravure and flexo printing will also be covered, with the FPLMA saying it will ensure ‘a broad range of enticing topics for our delegates.’

To top off the two day conference, which runs 2-3 March at the Crown Promenade, FPLMA will host its annual awards dinner dance at Crown Palladium on the evening of 3 March. Dalleore said, “Our awards Dinner is incredible, and has become the icon for the packaging industry, with an average of 350 people expected to attended."
