INFO*FLEX Continues to Prosper: Floor Shows Record Booking One Year Out

BOHEMIA, NInfoFlex2017_tagY – May 19, 2016 – Amid an industry where the tradeshow landscape has changed dramatically, Flexographic Technical Association’s (FTA) INFO*FLEX Exhibition continues to flourish. For the last six consecutive years, the event has averaged a 10 percent annual growth rate, in both the footprint of the show floor and the delegates who walk it.

Celebrating its 35th anniversary, the 2017 INFO*FLEX will be held May 1 and 2 in downtown Phoenix, AZ. The show floor will occupy three halls of the Phoenix Convention Center, spanning some 65,000 square feet. With little less than one year until the event officially welcomes the first of its more than 2,000 package printer/converter attendees, INFO*FLEX’s expanded show floor stands at more than 70 percent occupied, with 155 exhibiting companies staking claim on some 224 booth spaces.

INFO*FLEX, which has grown in recent years to embrace virtually every facet of the package printing and converting supply chain, will feature live demonstrations, technical presentations, and the newest innovations from a broad portfolio of segments that include flexible packaging, tag & label, folding carton, boxmaking, corrugated, and specialty printing/converting, to name a few.

Those 2,000 printers/converters and other industry professionals traveling to Phoenix will look to INFO*FLEX and the products showcased, for solutions providing faster makereadies, reduced downtime, and ways to trim the fat from their operations.

Exhibitor rates, per 10-ft. x 10-ft. turnkey exhibit space, are $3,700 for FTA members and $7,400 for non-members. Those companies interested in exhibiting can contact Jay Kaible, FTA’s director of membership and business development, at 631-737-6020 ext. 20.
