Press release submitted on behalf of IMDA and Plastics Decorating

Registration now is open for the 2025 Plastic Product Decorating Summit. The Plastic Product Decorating Summit brings the plastics industry together to learn, listen and discuss all types of direct-to-object plastic decorating and in-mold decorating (IMD), labeling (IML) and electronics (IME) applications. This year’s conference event will be held September 3-5 at the Embassy Suites by Hilton Charlotte Concord Golf Resort & Spa in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. The event is hosted by the In-Mold Decorating Association (IMDA) and Plastics Decorating magazine.

With this year’s theme, The Economy of Decorating, technical programming and industry panel discussions will focus on the latest application methods, equipment, best practices and market trends affecting the bottom line. Conference attendees gather from all the links in the production chain – OEMs, brand owners, molders, decorators, and those providing equipment and consumables – to address product decorating needs in industries as diverse as automotive and transportation, appliance, cosmetic applications, promotional giveaways, food packaging, electronics and medical.

The event will be keynoted by North American plastics manufacturing expert Laurie Harbour, Wipfli. Based on her decades of practical experience and manufacturing know-how, Harbour will share market trends and economic factors affecting the plastics industry, as well as the keys to successful operations. Other sessions will include topics related to automation, surface treatment, quality control, design trends and more.

In addition to a wide selection of presentations, the Supplier Trade Fair will feature tabletop exhibits from leading suppliers to the industry. Additional information on the Supplier Trade Fair is available for companies interested in exhibiting while spots remain.
