Gulf Print & Pack 2017 closes on high note

Held over March 26-29, 2017 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, Gulf Print & Pack 2017 ended on a high note as more than 50 industry-grade machines were sold over the course of the trade exhibition. Over 200 exhibitors participated in the region’s leading print technology show and reported big business and high levels of interest from the visitors who attended this year.

Close to AED30 million worth of machines were sold during the event, with big industry players including Canon, Giffin Graphics, Heidelberg, Kodak, Konica Minolta and Xerox reporting that good quality leads are in the pipeline and will be pursued in the coming weeks. There was a very strong international delegation from over 110 countries, including from emerging markets such as Iran whose contingent included SPS Complex, a producer of packaging films; fiber-based packaging specialist Caspian; label company Irandar and Chakavak Printing House, a producer of award-winning holograms.

With optimism high among industry stakeholders, Gulf Print & Pack will return to Dubai from April 15-18, 2019 at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
