The event, which is set to take place in Harrogate from 14 to16 May, will offer a new print for packaging specialist conference programme and will see working conventional presses on the show floor for the first time since 2007.
The Packaging Society and the Institute of Packaging Professionals (IoPP) are set to contribute to a new stream of seminars at the show, which was last held in 2011, targeted specifically at packaging firms. The seminar programme will include presentations, panel debates and discussion forums.
Sixteen exhibitors, including Edale, Flexo Wash, Flint Group, Nilpeter, Rotametrix and Bobst, will make their first appearances at the event while visitors will also be able to attend three new seminar theatres for information on market trends and business case studies.
North Print & Pack 2013 marketing manager Angelina Stojsavljevic said momentum for the event was gathering rapidly.
"We have a great line-up of exhibitors across the digital, offset and print for packaging sectors – a number of them exhibiting at North Print & Pack for the first time - and some are bringing working presses," she said. "The 2013 event will clearly reflect visitor appetites and incorporate the feedback we received from the 2011 event."
Stojsavljevic said the event had around 2,300 visitors in 2011, and it was aiming for 3,000 this year.
Visitors can register to receive regular email updates on the event and benefit from free fast-track entry.
