Why exhibit?
It's the greatest label show on Earth!
Labelexpo Europe is our flagship show and the largest dedicated label event in the world. Launched in London in 1980, it moved to Brussels in 1985, where it has remained since.
The scale of the show is staggering. Visitors from more than a hundred countries take over Brussels, bringing with them spending commitments of millions of euros.
The market:
Europe accounts for over a third of the world's label consumption and has some of the highest per capita usage (up to 17m2 per person) of any of the developed markets. Much of the current focus is on Eastern Europe, which has been achieving impressive label growth rates of 20% per year.
Add to that the near 100% growth in the use of filmic label stocks in Europe in the past 15 years, continued advances in digital workflow and digital printing, the rise of UV flexo, RFID and new developments in the way label companies manage information and systems, and it's not surprising that Europe remains at the forefront of the industry.
Labelexpo Europe 2009 is supported by FINAT and over 80 printing and packaging magazines.
