CCE International 2019 – Technology trends from the booming corrugated and folding carton industry and open seminars with focus on digital print
13 November 2018
From 12-14 March 2019, the fourth CCE International will take place at the Munich Trade Fair Centre in Germany.
As Europe’s only trade exhibition for manufacturing and converting of corrugated and cartonboard, the event is an important meeting point for all industry experts. Trade visitors to the show will be able to discover the latest technology trends for the corrugated and folding carton industry, such as innovative solutions for the individualisation of packaging. The successful series of open seminars from the previous event will be continued in 2019.
The trend towards recyclable and sustainable packaging is boosting significant growth in the corrugated and folding carton industry. However, the corrugated and folding carton industry also needs to incorporate new trends in order to be successful in the highly competitive market. Technological developments such as digitalisation and industry 4.0 offer huge potential for the industry sector. Digital processes along the entire production chain enable a smarter and more efficient production and enhanced planning processes.
Furthermore, digitalisation also enables new forms of customer communication. Smart folding boxes play an important role in interacting with the end customers and consumers. Packages can be tracked during the entire delivery process; they provide customers with product information via a QR code or feature individualised design and messages for the customer. Sustainable packaging is thus becoming increasingly important in the marketing mix.
Open seminars
CCE International continues its successful series of open seminars in 2019. Visitors to the show will be able to benefit from daily expert seminars free of charge. Beside topics such as “sustainability” and “processing technologies” one of the seminar’s focus is “digital print”. An up-to-date seminar programme is available on the CCE International website www.cce-international.com.
