More than 2,000 members of the package printing and converting industry will descend on Nashville, TN, USA, May 4-5 for Flexographic Technical Association’s (FTA) upcoming 2015 INFO*FLEX Exhibition.

The brand new Music City Center will host the largest and most comprehensive global networking event in the packaging universe, keying in on every application from labels and folding cartons to corrugated boxes, folding cartons, envelopes, napkins, towel/tissue and digital print solutions. On display will be technologies, products and services focused on the future of the industry, including multi-process print solutions and inline converting equipment. Additionally, printers/converters will be able to see, touch and test the latest products pertinent to prepress print and finishing.

INFO*FLEX has grown substantially over the past five years, enjoying a 40% increase in size and a 45% jump in attendance. This year alone, INFO*FLEX has added 26 new companies to its long list of 2015 exhibitors. To accommodate the increased interest and size, show management extended the show/networking hours, from 9 to 11 for this year’s event. Printers/converters and the exhibitors that are their business partners turn out in droves for this annual event, as they have come to realize that INFO*FLEX addresses their every need—in a single location, under just one roof.

The show floor comprises 280 booths and 220 companies. The floor will also sport a Solutions Theater where 9-12 minute future-focused presentations will take place each day.
