Showcasing Cartons

BPIF Cartons’ members – both converters and suppliers – will be out in force at next week’s Packaging Innovations exhibition at Birmingham’s NEC on 28th February and 1st March. In total, nearly twenty different companies offering a complete range of cartons or equipment, for all market sectors, will be present at the show. Jon Clark, BPIF Carton’s General Manager, explains: “We have 14 different carton companies, which are all members, attending the event. These range from some of the leading multi-national companies to smaller specialist niche suppliers. It’s a great representation of what our members offer especially when the environmental credentials of cartons are at the forefront of so many brand-owners minds. Many can be found on the event’s sustainability trail highlighting cartons as the only natural material that is truly sustainable. In support, a number of partners members will also be taking part showing the latest print finishes & effects as well as digital print capability. This event is a must for anyone that requires carton packaging to support their brands.”
