The tenth anniversary edition of AMI’s Multilayer Packaging Films conference took place from the 7th-9th November 2017 at the Maritim Hotel in Cologne, Germany. 

Flexible packaging is increasingly being recognised as key to driving competitive advantage, by differentiating products in a crowded retail environment and engage consumers at the moment of consumption.  Meanwhile, the concept and use of flexibles continues to evolve as advancements in raw materials, films, printing and finishing push the boundaries of application ever further.

Multilayer Packaging Films 2017 provided a unique opportunity to hear from a panel of international experts on the focus of technical and commercial needs and innovations for 2017 and beyond.  The conference ​brought together companies from across the flexible packaging value chain, from raw materials to retailers, ​and offered a dynamic forum to debate and exchange ideas with industry peers and potential customers.
