OPINION


	Universal conscience on sustainability Fortunately, the conscience on sustainability is not already the isolated warning of some scientists and researchers. It’s a challenge many entrepreneurs, workers and multilateral organisms have assume, among them institutions that, some decades ago, nobody would have think they would be dedicated today to the equation of the survival. By Alfried Karl Plöger, president of ABIGRAF (Brazilian Association of the Graphic Industry) and vice president of ABRASCA (Brazilian Association of Open Companies)


	........................................................................
	[ SUPPLIER'S OPINION ] Confidence in the perspectives of the Latin American graphic market I trust in the Latin American political stability is kept and so the graphic entrepreneurs will decide to invest. In such a way their investments will get good profit again. In Heidelberg we consider that Latin America has countries that work very efficiently as the best countries worldwide, and they must try to produce with costs as low as possible and therefore they need the adequate technology, trained people and to be well positioned in the market. Marcel Kiessling – President of Heidelberg Americas

The Latin American Label Industry: Solutions to a complex equation | Despite concerns over the evident reduction in their profits and the growing costs of raw materials, Latin American label converters are experiencing healthy performance. Conversión carried out a survey among 110 executives from label converter companies in 17 Latin American countries to analyze the outlook for this industry for this year and consider steps to foster future growth for this sector in the region.

Facing the challenge of a better world | A typical life cycle evaluation consists, for example, in determining whether or not packaging made with a specific type of paper has a greater environmental impact compared to a functionally equivalent type made out of plastic.

Opportunities For In-line Flexo | Innovative shuttle deck technology introduced in the 1990s allowed the operator to change plates, anilox and ink in machines of about 22 in. with the same ease that they could change a 10-in. machine with conventional design. The trend is to go wider yet; 32 in. will be common in flexible packaging. “Narrow web” isn’t narrow anymore.
