Leading print technology sourcing show across MEA
UAE: Preparations are ramping up for this year’s Gulf Print & Pack 2019 – the Middle East’s leading trade show for the commercial and package printing sector – with almost half of exhibitors taking part hailing from outside the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
The Middle East’s lead- ing commercial and pack- age printing trade show, Gulf Print & Pack 2019, takes place between 15-18 April at Dubai’s World Trade Centre. Aimed at printers, service providers, brand owners and designers, it’s the only platform connecting leading manufacturers with buyers.
On display will be the latest technologies: multi- substrate presses, wide/ narrow format digital presses, 3D printing, smart labels/packaging, and software, plus two new features. An Innovation Trail of live machinery demonstrations will feature Canon, HP, Konica Minolta, Ricoh, Xerox among others. An eye-catching Print Décor Lounge will present flooring, lampshades, wallpaper, and even furniture printed using the latest technologies.
The show’s managing director Lisa Milburn said: “It has typically been a Middle Eastern and African event, but we are looking forward to the most far-reaching edition yet, with a particularly strong representation of attendees from Europe and Southeast Asia. It’s proof that overseas companies are eager to take advantage of the region’s opportunities.”
Chris Lynch, head of production technology, Xerox Middle East & Africa, adds: “Gulf Print & Pack 2019 promises to be another ‘must see’ event for those in the business of printing and packaging across the Middle East, Africa and Asia.”
