The four-day show to be held at Xeikon’s Lier facility near Antwerp, Belgium, will have live demonstrations of end-to-end digital workflow for a variety of labels and packaging applications clustered into vertical sectors.

According to the Xeikon Café team, the attendees will get valuable first-hand, easy-to-digest information on the latest innovations and trends from industry experts and learn more on which tools and equipment are right for you, now or in the future.

Filip Weymans, Xeikon’s vice president marketing, said, “The Xeikon Café is also an industry gathering unlike anywhere else. Sure, there are plenty of excellent label and packaging trade shows and conferences where the industry also meets.”

“But what makes the Xeikon Café unique is that, here, visitors can see end-to-end, integrated solutions all-in-1 place. It is not about independent suppliers showing their solution and giving separate information. It is about partners working together to show all-in-1 solutions, including workflow, consumables, printing and finishing – fully from concept to production.”

Since the last Xeikon Café Packaging Innovations, Xeikon has been taken over by Flint Group and the company reported expansion on global scale in its first year as a division of Flint Group. This fourth edition has been extended from three days to four, reflecting both interest in the event and global growth.

“We want this event to demystify the hype around digital production, and help you determine where the real value lies for your business. The Xeikon Cafe offers a hands-on platform to get direct answers from industry experts and other business owners to help you decide what is relevant and what the best choice for your business,” said Weymans.
