The Indian Printing Packaging and
Allied Machinery Manufacturers’ Association (IPAMA) was established in1988, organized
the 16th edition of their flagship show Printpack India at The India Expo
Center in Greater Noida UP from the 1st to 5th February
2025. The exhibition started as an annual event in 1999 and became a biennial show
from 2005 onwards. Until 2011 the show was held at New Delhi’s Pragati Maidan
and later in 2013 it was moved to India Expo Center, Greater Noida. The author nostalgically
reminisces having been an exhibitor in 1999. The show that basically caters to graphic
arts machinery and related products, initially was looked upon as a commercial
and offset printing equipment show, but in recent times has evolved as an event
showcasing equipment, tooling, materials, consumables, software to all segments
of diverse printing, packaging and converting industry. The show has grown in size
and presentations to print at large and is now considered as one of the largest
in the world.

Label is an important miniscule
portion of the packaging industry, being the face of any product, the needs of
their target audience are focused, so they have separate specialty shows around
the world. Printpack for the last couple of editions has been attracting some suppliers
to the label industry, it was surprising to see a smart display in large stands
in dedicated two halls and the spill over into other halls as well. This evidently
indicates the vibrant increase of consumerism in the country which has resulted
in robust growth in demand for packaging. The author has endeavoured to share
his pictorial walk through the show concentrating on the label and packaging
industry.
