“Labelexpo is a world-class stage for showcasing the best of our industry, and we’re proud to mark our 90th anniversary by sharing how our innovations are helping customers stay ahead,” said Helger Reitsma, vice-president of marketing, label and packaging materials EMENA at Avery Dennison.

“Whether it’s rethinking materials for a more circular future, enabling connectivity and creativity in packaging and beyond, or simplifying complex compliance demands, we’re focused on unlocking new possibilities by connecting the physical and digital to solve some of the world’s most complex challenges.”

Avery Dennison said it will bring to its booth (3E61) the science of packaging recyclability and material reuse to life, showcasing solutions for every packaging format.

Through real-time demonstrations, visitors will see how innovations like label release technology make it possible to recycle and reuse materials more effectively, helping brands stay ahead of tightening legislation and rising consumer expectations.

A dedicated retail zone will spotlight packaging innovations designed to boost shelf appeal and drive consumer engagement, including the newest luxury materials from Avery Dennison’s Infinity and Sensorial Collections, as well as demos featuring RFID and NFC solutions.

An interactive display will show how RFID technologies deliver end-to-end transparency, enabling real-time tracking from production to point-of-sale, and helping businesses optimise operations and reduce shrink.

Avery Dennison will also present its latest functional material and RFID solutions for automotive and EV batteries supporting greater traceability and connectivity.

For the pharmaceutical sector, solutions are designed to improve patient safety and meet strict regulatory standards through improved product authentication and supply chain visibility.

Three years after Australia walked away from free trade negotiations with the European Union, Canberra and Brussels appear to be edging back toward an endgame on an Australia–EU Free Trade Agreement (A-EU FTA).

Australia’s position in the Harvard Economic Complexity Index (ECI) has just received a significant boost, moving from 105th to 74th place out of the 145 countries assessed, but it is due to a recalibration of calculation methodology rather than a meaningful change in capability.
