Mike Fairley, Masterclass Chairman, said “to-date, well over 100 converters from around the world have successfully been through the masterclass program, making valuable contacts with suppliers, gaining confidence to make investment decisions and being able to talk to potential customers. Some have now sourced equipment and are already manufacturing smart label products for this fast-evolving market. These events have proved a valuable resource to aid the ongoing growth of the label converting industry.”
