Registration now is open for the 2026 Plastic Product Decorating Summit, taking place September 1-3 at the Houston Marriott Sugar Land hotel in Sugar Land (Houston), Texas. The conference event 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.
Plastics decoration isn’t just visual — it’s technical. And this year’s conference goes deeper than ever into the knowledge and technical capabilities behind high‑performance decorated plastics. Attendees will learn how to:
- Optimize material / process compatibility for high-quality results
- Integrate plastics decorating technology into existing lines
- Improve durability, adhesion and long‑term performance
- Leverage automation to increase throughput and consistency
Featuring a day and a half of industry-focused content, the Plastic Product Decorating Summit features keynote speakers, technical presenters and panelists who are experts in plastics production, decorating processes and in-mold technology. Sessions focus on market and economic data applicable to the plastics manufacturing segment, developments in technology and decorating processes, application case studies and conversations with brand owners and OEMs.
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.
