Ticket sales have opened for the inaugural packaging and printing industry forum in Sydney on 3 August, presented by PKN and stablemate Print21, and supported by leading suppliers Currie Group, HP and Matthews.

Following three successful annual LIVE events staged to date by PKN, this year we are joining forces with our new stablemate Print21, to take an in-depth look at the latest trends and exciting technology in the pack printing space, as well as the opportunities for commercial printers in packaging, driven by the digital revolution.

The full-day event -- themed New Frontiers in Packaging Print -- promises to deliver thought leadership from industry experts on the future of packaging print, the technologies driving change, and the market trends informing packaging and print design choices.

Presentations and panel sessions will cover the following key topics and more...
