IPAMA acknowledges the printing and packaging industry’s overwhelming response to 15th Printpack India, slated to be held from 11 – 15 March 2022. 80% area has already been booked. 6,000 square meter area is in the pipeline. Major players have already confirmed their bookings and deposited the requisite amount.
Dec 15, 2021, was the last day to avail early bird discount in Printpack – said to be India’s most reputed event of printing and packaging industry. The Indian Printing Packaging & Allied Machinery Manufacturers’ Association (IPAMA) had announced the revised dates of 15th Printpack India exhibition, in the month of October 2021, in consultation with the exhibitors, business visitors, and the allied partner associations/federations.
In a limited time period, a tremendous response is said to have been received from the industry. With a view to extending financial relief to the industry in the Covid-19 period, IPAMA had brought down the space charges to the lowest level so that more and more companies, particularly from the MSME sector, could participate in the exhibition and give momentum to their business. Simultaneously, it had also announced various discounts, including the early bird discount at the rate of Rs1000 per square meter, to all the exhibitors. The last date for availing of the early bird discount expired on 15 December 2021.
Before the expiry of the last date of the early bird discount, 55 companies had booked their space by remitting the requisite space charges. This shows the craze and the importance of the show amongst the Indian companies, who are engaged in manufacturing printing, packaging, and allied machinery, for participation in the show.
The past editions each had provided a unique platform to the exhibitors for displaying the latest technology and high-quality products. For the convenience of the exhibitors, IPAMA has provided the facility of submitting online applications for space booking. More than 80 percent of the space has already been booked.
The process of allotment of Stalls is going on.
