Ipex 2014 will include Future Innovations zones that showcase examples of printed products and technologies that are set for rapid expansion over the next few years; photo products, digital print on packaging, 3D printing and printable electronics have been earmarked.
Gareth Ward, Ipex Future Innovations curator, said: “Print service providers should definitely plan to spend time in the four zones during their time at the show, while it will also provide excellent insight for the marketing service community to understand the growing areas of applications that add value to the marketing mix. Ipex 2014 is the ideal event to investigate how the print industry will be influenced over the next few years, and to meet with relevant suppliers to ensure they’re fully up-to-date when looking at the future strategic direction of their businesses.”
