Labels-visible part of Printpack 2025, a pictorial walk through!

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 1^st to 5^th 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.
