Organisers
27th-28th February 2006, Staverton Park Conference Centre, Northamptonshire, England

Joint organisers of The Carton Conference 2006 are Angel Business Communications Ltd , Pro Carton and BPIFCartons.

Angel Business Communications Ltd have been producing vertical Business-to-Business publications, exhibitions, conferences, etc for over 30 years.

Pro Carton is the European Association of Carton Manufacturers and Cartonboard Mills and aims to promote the use of Cartons as a packaging medium through the provision of facts and information to as wide an audience as possible.

Pro Carton in the UK is running several projects to promote the use of cartonboard packaging to product manufacturers, retailers and packaging designers.

BPIFCartons is the folding carton arm of the British Printing Industries Federation, the business support organisation for employers in the printing, packaging and graphic communications industry.

BPIFCartons membership represents 77% of the UK carton market. There is also an associate membership drawn from a variety of manufacturing areas within the printing industry. The chairman of BPIF Cartons John Monks extols the benefits of belonging to such a specialist group when he says:

"The fact that we are being listened to by Government over the vital issue of packaging waste proves that companies can pull together within their specialist niche industry and become a forceful voice to be reckoned with. The sum of the whole is worth more than the individual company within its 50 strong membership."
