The Sustainability Showcase Open Days will be held as two one-day events at swissQprint’s UK headquarters in Bracknell on 27 and 28 September.
They will aim to show production leaders and decision-makers in digital printing, signage, and packaging how to achieve a more effective and sustainable print production process to meet the environmental needs of their clients.
Each group of guests will explore sustainability issues across the production process, including reducing energy consumption, minimising waste, and using environmentally friendly materials in their printing.
SwissQprint’s Nyala 4 flatbed printer will be on display, together with Zund’s S3 L-1600 precision digital cutter, which has been designed to reduce waste through its efficient hardware and advanced nesting software.
Members of both companies will be on hand to answer questions and demonstrate the performance of the machines.
Dean Ashworth, sales and marketing director at Zund UK, said: “At this important event, we want to showcase the wider possibilities for sustainable manufacturing in the print and packaging industry, through the use of our highly versatile hardware and software solutions that are customisable to every bespoke production process.”
Additionally, Antalis will be showing key products from its expanding range of sustainable materials for large-format print applications, while Compass Business Finance will provide in-depth analyses of ways in which printers can achieve a more effective and sustainable production process.
Throughout the events, seminars will address a wide variety of industry subjects, giving delegates the chance to identify key opportunities for improving the sustainability of their production, from equipment and workflow choices to materials and effective financing and access to government loans.
Erskine Stewart, managing director of SwissQprint, said: “It is not often that print service providers get the chance to address so many elements of their business at one event, and SwissQprint is proud to assemble such a wealth of experience in one place.
“Truly, this will be a ‘one-stop shop’ for discussing all things sustainable and we look forward to meeting both new and existing contacts from across the industry.”
Limited free places on the Sustainability Showcase Open Days on either 27 or 28 September can be booked online at www.sustainability-showcase.eventbrite.co.uk.
