Industry News Editor’s Comment


Welcome to the May issue of Converter I’m delighted to return to Converter, as interim editor, and I’d like to wish Yasmin Nolan well on her next project. I’d highly recommend the Edale event that is referenced elsewhere on this page. At the event, Jo Stephenson, managing director of Think B2B Marketing, will share insights into the packaging industry’s trajectory, including looking at the ever- growing infl uence of AI and the evolving regulatory challenges. Attendees will also have the opportunity to see the Edale FL5 in action fi rst-hand and discover the mechanics and commercial advantages of single-pass production, including how it can reduce setup time, waste, WIP and labour, all while delivering premium-quality cartons with inline embellishments like reverse print, lamination, cast & cure, varnish, emboss, drip off varnish, cut & crease, and stripping. In our May issue, we are delving into a number of features including Drying, Curing & UV, Machine Vision & Web Inspection, Coating and Laminating and Flexible Packaging. I do hope you fi nd this issue informative and interesting!
