FESPA – the industry networking event
Every year the EngView team joins the Europe’s largest expo for digital print, textile and signage. In Berlin the show was more spacious and lustrous than we’ve seen it before. The new Digital Corrugated Experience Hall shows FESPA is paying special attention to the growing packaging business and pointing out the advantages of the digitalization and automation in the production of packaging and POP displays. The focus of the show continues to be the digital printing and cutting machines that are getting bigger and faster involving less and less human interaction. These machines are of course powered by software like the EngView Package & Display Designer Suite and more manufacturers understand the importance of intuitive content-creation program being part of the complete solution. Bringing the whole industry together makes FESPA the best international networking event for 2018. Our team had a busy schedule trying to meet all partners, distributors and customers within the limited time of the event. OEMs were renegotiated, lost acquaintances were renewed, and new professionals got introduced to the industry. All this and catching up with old friends, introducing new ideas and opportunities for working together.Read MoreEngView Systems joins Ghent Workgroup

In the spirit of the coming holidays, we tend to get excited at first and then a little anxious about the tons of presents we have to carefully prepare. Shopping is fun for some people and not so much for others. When it comes to family and our loved ones, we want to find the perfect gift, we spend hours online searching for the right present, comparing features and prices. But we rarely if ever think about the packaging. It always comes last minutes, we try to salvage some old wrapping or reuse the laptop box we forgot to throw out. Best-case scenario is we pay someone else to make it for us, so it costs us additional money and we promise ourselves we will never do that again.
