FAQs
Tag, Label, and Packaging Technical Professionals are invited to participate TLMI’s printTHINK Summit. Join us for two information packed days as industry presenters and panelists take the stage to talk about the most important production advancements, operational trends, and market forces in today’s narrow web label and printed packaging industry. Our central goal is to ensure attendees had access to technical experts and market influencers whose companies are at the forefront of some of the most important technologies, systems, and ideas that are reshaping the way we manufacture and position our products. The pace of change in our industry is occurring at a higher rate than ever before. As the pressroom increasingly automates, digital continues to advance and move into more and more conventional application areas, and workforce challenges demand we formulate more innovative ways to recruit and retain our employees, it is essential that we attend events that will help us fortify, position, and grow our businesses.
