DITROLIO FLEXOGRAPHIC INSTITUTE PARTNERS WITH CMM INTERNATIONAL

 

An Expanded CMM Technology Center Will “Bridge Gap” Between Narrow And Mid-Web Converting

To help converters from around the world better understand how they can combine both narrow and mid-web converting technologies, CMM and DiTrolio Flexographic Institute have teamed up to expand on the Narrow Web and Mid-Web Technology Centers Technology Center at CMM International 2009, June 2-4 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Rosemont, Illinois.

For nearly three decades, CMM International has been recognized worldwide as the leading source of information for new products, technologies, trends and innovations for the converting and package printing industry.

First managed by PennWell in 2007, CMM International 2007 was proclaimed by many industry sources as forging the future of converting and package printing with the launch of two Technology Centers. These Technology Centers – an innovative approach to showcasing running equipment on the show floor – allowed converters to experience each step of the converting process while discussing the technology with a variety of industry experts.

In 2009, this innovative concept is being expanded to showcase more segments of the industry. In addition to the Flexible Packaging Technology Center, the Narrow Web Technology Center and the Mid-Web Technology Center, CMM introduces the addition of a Folding Carton Technology Center in 2009.

Together, these three Technology Centers will provide attendees with an unprecedented look at a full production process from start to finish.
