Gulf Print & Pack Returns to Dubai in 2026
After making a smashing debut in Saudi Arabia in January 2025, Gulf Print & Pack – MENA’s leading exhibition for the commercial and package print sectors – returns to the Emirates for the 2026 edition to be held at the iconic Dubai World Trade Centre from 31 March to 2 April 2026.
Alternating between Dubai and Riyadh, Gulf Print & Pack has cemented its position in the Middle East region, servicing the burgeoning GCC and Saudi Arabian markets.
Gulf Print & Pack reaffirms Dubai’s position as a hub for technological innovation and sustainability. The three-day event will bring together print service providers (PSPs), commercial and packaging printers, designers, and print buyers from across Africa, the Middle East, and South Asia, wanting to see an array of new technologies and innovations across areas such as digital embellishment, hybrid printing, and sustainable packaging.
At the venue, attendees can “hear” the machines revving up during live demos, view various components, feel the substrate textures, learn about the latest cutting-edge technologies, expand business connections, and get answers to all their print and packaging dilemmas.
With current trends and transformations witnessed in the printing and packaging industries, Gulf Print & Pack 2026 is expected to be a landmark event in terms of participation and technological advancements, with loads of business opportunities for industry stakeholders.
Event Director Barry Killengrey says, “The printing industry has evolved immensely, with exciting new trends such as digital embellishment emerging, and this has intensified the appetite to see more advances in digital technology, automation, and workflow capabilities.”
The flagship event in Dubai is significant as MENA is a key global market for commercial and package print industries. “We are seeing a key trend developing in the MENA market, which is the transition to digital, not only for print and post-print equipment, but also for workflows that will be showcased on the show floor,” says Labelexpo Global Series Managing Director Jade Grace. “Gulf Print & Pack in Dubai remains our most important event in the region.”
“With less than a year to go until Gulf Print & Pack 2026, get ready to join us at Dubai for the MENA region’s leading event for print and packaging technology sourcing,” adds Killengrey.
Gulf Print & Pack 2024 in Dubai attracted 8,331 visitors from 101 countries, who came to see 256 exhibitors occupy 5,083 sq m of space.
