PRINT PACK SIGN EXPO Nairobi

The PRINT PACK SIGN EXPO, established in 2012, is one of the most prominent trade fairs for printing, packaging, and signage in East Africa. It takes place annually at the Oshwal Centre in Nairobi and is organized by Tashikka Trade Fairs Ltd., an experienced event organizer specializing in the development of industry-specific business platforms in emerging markets.

As a well-established industry event—typically held in the autumn—the expo attracts a wide range of regional trade visitors as well as international participants. It primarily targets professionals and decision-makers from the printing and packaging sectors who are seeking innovative solutions, high-performance machinery, and forward-looking technologies. A distinctive feature of the event is its strong practical focus: live demonstrations of cutting-edge machines and systems offer direct insights into production processes—providing not only information but also inspiration.

Nairobi, as the economic hub of East Africa, offers ideal conditions for business networking and international collaboration thanks to its dynamic entrepreneurial landscape.

In terms of content, the PRINT PACK SIGN EXPO covers the entire industrial value chain of printing and packaging—from digital prepress and various printing techniques to post-processing methods such as lamination, UV curing, and numbering. Specialized applications such as die-cutting, coding, and label printing are also represented. The product range is further complemented by packaging machines, cutting and folding systems, strapping solutions, and FFS technologies. In addition, materials like paper, films, printing plates, inks, and chemicals—as well as services and software solutions—form an integral part of the exhibition. This comprehensive thematic scope makes the expo highly relevant for industry professionals.

Exhibitors primarily come from the fields of printing technology, packaging machinery, digitalization, and advertising technology—industries that are experiencing strong growth in the East African market. Visitors mainly include CEOs, production managers, procurement specialists, print service providers, and packaging experts who attend the fair to discover new products and initiate business partnerships.

The Oshwal Centre stands out as a venue due to its central location, modern infrastructure, and excellent accessibility—both from Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and the city center. The combination of a professional exhibition environment, a rapidly growing market, and a clear industry focus makes the PRINT PACK SIGN EXPO an essential platform for anyone looking to succeed in the East African printing and packaging industry.

The PRINT PACK SIGN EXPO will take place on 3 days from Wednesday, 12. November to Friday, 14. November 2025 in Nairobi.
