Charlotte, North Carolina, June 10, 2014—Global anilox roll supplier Harper Corporation of America is proud to be a bronze sponsor of the 2014 Gravure Association of the Americas’ Printed Electronics, Functional Printing and Intelligent Packaging Symposium. The event will explore the evolving technologies and strategies impacting the industry and how businesses can embrace these changes to support future development and production.

This two-day event will feature speakers from leading companies throughout the printing industry. This year’s theme, “Forging Effective Design-to-Commercialization Packaging and Product Value Chains for an Internet of Things,” focuses on how intelligent packaging, printed electronics, functional printing, collaborative innovation, and the Internet of Things (IoT) are changing how businesses operate. Speakers will examine not only technologies, standards, and best practices, but also provide a tour of a printed electronics pressroom complete with technology demonstrations.

In addition to sponsoring and attending the event, Harper Corporation will also conduct demonstrations using its QD flat bed printing system performing direct gravure and offset gravure prints with conductive inks. Attendees can learn more about the QD’s printing processes and the role that Harper’s technology and ceramic laser engraved cylinders play in creating quality results that enhance profit, create value, and drive competitive advantage.

Professionals in the printing and packaging industry are encouraged to attend this exciting event to learn more about the future of the industry and network with other businesses and individuals.
