Asian Print Awards

The Asian Print Awards was created in 2006 to reward print companies that achieved excellence in print production across Asia. Supported by industry leading suppliers, winners are awarded with Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals for their print work. The entries are judged anonymously by an esteemed panel of judges – all of whom are international industry experts. Held annually, winners are recognised and honoured in a gala dinner event.

Other concurrently held events include a seminar by the Photo Business Association, Thailand. As the leading exhibition of its kind in Southeast Asia, PACK PRINT INTERNATIONAL 2019 continues to attract an international and diverse exhibitor and visitor base making it the trade platform of choice to conduct successful business transactions, secure deals, and network with relevant brand names.

Co-located with T-PLAS – International Trade Fair for the Plastics and Rubber Industries, the synergistic collaboration of the two exhibitions will serve as a one-stop platform for the industries.
