Print2Pack 2026 Drives MENA Print & Packaging Growth
The 18th edition of Print2Pack successfully concluded its run, cementing its legacy as a landmark event for the region’s printing and packaging sectors. Held in conjunction with Paper Middle East and Tissue-ME, the event featured over 360 exhibitors showcasing the latest machinery, raw materials, and technological solutions used in the paper, cardboard, tissue paper, packaging, printing, and plastics industries.
Over its duration, the exhibition served as a comprehensive hub, bridging the printing and packaging sectors with the rapidly expanding plastics industry under one roof. By gathering key stakeholders, industry leaders, and decision-makers, the event created a dynamic synergistic environment where manufacturers, suppliers, and innovators could directly engage, exchange expertise, and stay ahead of emerging market trends.
More than just a showcase for cutting-edge technologies, this milestone iteration evolved into a vital meeting hub that successfully catalysed sustainable development, unlocked new market potential, and solidified meaningful regional and international business partnerships to shape the future of industrial growth in the MENA region.
The Packaging Innovate Summit 2026 was a major highlight, which saw the participation of a select group of specialists and experts in the printing, packaging, and paper industries, in addition to organising panel discussions and workshops that addressed some of the sector’s latest trends and technologies. The conference discussed a number of issues related to the development of the packaging and printing industries, including the challenges of local manufacturing in paper, cardboard, and packaging, technological innovations, the development of post-printing technologies, PPWR and its impact on Egyptian exports, as well as the future of printed packaging, smart designs, and pricing solutions. The conference sessions also addressed topics related to the identity of Egyptian packaging, quality requirements and international competition, and opportunities to access foreign markets.
Print2Pack, Paper Middle East, and Tissue-ME were held at the Egypt International Exhibition Center from 15–17 September 2026.
