2011 IADD•FSEA Odyssey Offers Strategies for Profitability and Growth
- March 07, 2011
CRYSTAL LAKE, IL | Scheduled May 4-6, 2011, at the Nashville Convention Center in Nashville, TN, the IADD·FSEA Odyssey provides an innovative learning arena. From technical sessions conducted on-press in the Techshop or in classrooms to a Technology Hall filled with the widest range of products and services specific to diecutting/diemaking, foil stamping/embossing, folding/gluing and a host of other specialty diemaking and finishing processes, the Odyssey's 23 technical and educational sessions provides strategies for profitability and growth.
Free on Friday, May 6, panel speakers from Hewlett Packard, Transilwrap and Brightmarks will address the latest trends in the digital arena with the “Impact of Digital Printing Technology on Finishing and Packaging” (co-sponsored by the Printing Industries of the South – PIAS).
Addressing production efficiencies, many on-press programs challenge attendees to 'Get in the Game' with new technologies – offering solutions to some of their toughest jobs.
Some of these programs include “Ancillary Equipment for Folding/Gluing” (Bobst EXPERTFOLD 110 A-2), “Gaining Productivity and Efficiency with High-Speed Diecutting” (Heidelberg Varimatrix 105CS), “Methods to Fabricate the Most Effective Stripping Tools” (Bobst EXPERTCUT 106 PER), “Emboss/Diecut in One Pass” (My Press Needs AutoClam), “High-Speed Foil Fusing Technology” (Therm-O-Type HS Foil Stamping/Foil Fusing press), “A Guide to Optimal Makeready” (Bobst EXPERTCUT) and “Matching Tooling to Material” (Preco Flatbed and Rotary Converting Platforms). Additional Techshop and classroom sessions lead participants to new outcomes and opportunities in the fields of diecutting/diemaking, print finishing, folding carton, corrugated and specialty markets.
