Trade Centre in Dubai, many of the industry’s leading manufacturers and a

Displaying
the newest in multi-substrate presses, wide and narrow format digital presses,
laser die-cutting, 3D printing, smart labels/packaging, and software, Gulf
Print & Pack 2019 is aimed at printers, service providers, brand owners and
designers from not only the Middle East, but also continental Africa, South
Asia and Europe. Buyers can experience live demonstrations of the latest
solutions that will help them print a wide range of products for a
cross-section of markets including retail, education and security. The show is
a perfect arena for visitors to network with the biggest and most influential
suppliers operating in today’s market, discover niche markets, and boost their
knowledge.
Lisa
Milburn, Managing Director, Gulf Print & Pack, commented: “The Middle East
remains one of the world’s key commercial print growth regions, with huge
untapped potential for digital technologies. This is reflected in the
continuing growth of our show, which plays a vital role in driving the industry
forward. At Gulf Print & Pack 2017, we started to see a trend, with half of
our visitors interested in digital printing presses; and this year we expect to
see this trend explode, given rising demand for short run digital commercial
and package printing, digitally printed labels and smart labels.”
“Although
its core audience has typically been Middle Eastern and African, we are seeing
the show become more international with each edition, so we anticipate an even
greater global representation at this year’s show.”
She
added: “This year’s edition of Gulf Print & Pack is especially well timed
in the run up to Expo 2020 Dubai, which will create massive opportunities for
all type of print including advertising posters, smart label and packaging products
and digital textiles. Given this huge print potential, we expect our show to be
a key sourcing event and we are extremely excited about the opportunities this
will create. We look forward to meeting with exhibitors and visitors onsite.”
