Gulf Print & Pack 2019 , aimed at printers, service providers, brand owners and designers, returns to Dubai World Trade Centre from 15-18 April.
The event will be boasting more live demonstrations of machinery and technology to potential buyers than in previous editions, with the introduction of a new Innovation Trail led by leading manufacturers.
Over the four days of the show, visitors will be able to experience live demonstrations with Canon , HP , Konica Minolta , Phoenix Technologies , Ricoh and Xerox among the exhibitors taking part.
Technology being showcased includes a central reprographic department from Canon, two hardware solutions from HP and digital printing solutions from Konica Minolta including the MGI JETVarnish 3DS machine and AccurioLabel 190 label printer.
Also being introduced at the show is a new Print Décor Lounge area, where visitors will be able to experience the diverse possibilities of printing, says organisers.
Everything will be printed, from textiles, furniture, wallpaper, to non-slip flooring using technology such as web-to-print.
Exhibitors taking part include NDigitech, who will be showcasing their innovative Dubaiprint.com e-commerce printing platform, Multisystem Technology and Heliozid.
Lisa Milburn, Managing Director, Gulf Print & Pack 2019, commented: “Innovation is the golden thread running through this year’s show, and we are delighted to be able to offer even more live technology demonstrations for potential print buyers than before, and build real momentum in the industry.
This, coupled with the fact that around half of exhibitors are coming from outside the MENA region, is proof that it continues to be an essential destination for the commercial printing industry to invest in. We are looking forward to meeting with exhibitors and visitors at Gulf Print & Pack 2019 in April.”
Chris Lynch, head of MEA Production at Xerox, said: “We believe the Middle East plays a significant role when it comes to digital transformation and developing innovating technologies. Being part of the Innovation Trail will allow us to showcase the latest digital solutions and services which help add value to print, reduce costs, improve productivity or automate many of the processes involved in print operations.”
Shadi Bakhour, B2B Business Unit Director, Canon Middle East, added: “The objective of this display is to educate customers about the value of having a complete printing solution at the organization. We hope that by walking through the process, customers will be encouraged to take strides towards unlocking their full printing potential.”
