Gulf Print & Pack 2027: Show Overview and Industry Focus

Gulf Print & Pack is a specialist print and packaging technology exhibition serving printers, print service providers, print buyers and packaging professionals across the Middle East and North Africa.

Planning Your Visit to Gulf Print & Pack 2027 Dubai

Gulf Print & Pack places strong emphasis on live machinery demonstrations, making booth planning particularly important for exhibitors displaying printing, converting or finishing equipment.

Depending on the product being presented, exhibitors may need to consider demonstration space, product visibility, technical displays, meeting areas, electrical requirements, cable management and sufficient circulation around machinery.

Brands displaying substrates, inks, packaging materials or finished samples may instead require organised sample displays and dedicated spaces for technical and commercial discussions.

These requirements should be developed around the exhibitor’s confirmed stand allocation and the organizer’s technical regulations.

The event is held at Dubai World Trade Centre, Sheikh Zayed Road, in Za’abeel Halls 4–6.

Visitors travelling internationally should plan accommodation and entry requirements early. The event’s official travel information includes hotel booking options, Emirates travel information and visa-support guidance.

Visitors requiring an invitation letter for a UAE visa can request one after completing event registration, according to the current travel guidance.
