Auraprint is Finland’s leading label printing house, and for us it is important to maintain close cooperation with international partners. Collaboration plays a key role in renewal and in staying at the forefront of development. International networking can bring valuable partners and keep us informed of the latest trends and changes in the printing industry.
Concordia Labels
For several years we have been part of Concordia Labels, a group of well-known, independent European printing houses. The Concordia companies meet a few times a year to join forces in procurement and collaborate on product development. All member companies have a long history and strong expertise in the label market, and instead of competing with each other, they share innovations and knowledge.
Concordia Labels is also committed to supporting each other in unexpected situations that may cause major production disruptions. Belonging to the group therefore ensures our operational readiness even in unforeseen circumstances beyond our control.
FINAT European Label Forum (ELF)
Each year we participate in the European Label Forum (ELF), hosted by FINAT, where we have the opportunity to network and exchange knowledge with other label industry experts. At the European Label Forum, professionals come together to discuss current topics and developments in the industry. The most recent meeting was held in Amsterdam in May. Auraprint was there to hear the latest insights on industry trends and challenges, ranging from geopolitical and economic impacts to sustainability, artificial intelligence, and technological innovation.
The event featured inspiring discussions on topics such as sustainable label manufacturing, collaboration in regulatory matters, and how creativity and AI can come together in label design.
Ravenwood Packaging
Ravenwood Packaging is a leading developer and manufacturer of linerless labeling technology – their labeling machines are widely used in the food industry across Europe, as well as in North America and Australia. In May we took part in Ravenwood’s 2025 Global Conference, which brought together Ravenwood machine distributors and print partners from around the world.
Throughout the event, collaboration was strongly emphasized. The message of the “Circle of Linerless” was present in all presentations. Speakers highlighted the importance of cooperation between printing houses and distributors, and the marketing review emphasized the value of storytelling and customer cases. In Finland, Ravenwood technology is widely used in ready meal and meat packaging, but it is also well suited for fruit packaging and baked goods.
Other international cooperation
We also maintain close contacts with other printing houses and material suppliers operating globally, particularly in Europe, to ensure that we always utilize the latest innovations in our product development and operations. This autumn we will participate in the Label Expo fair, where we will explore the most current news in the label industry.
Auraprint thanks all international partners for their cooperation also in 2025!
