PRINTPAK Karachi

PRINTPAK Expo is a major trade exhibition for Pakistan’s printing, packaging and graphic arts industries, open exclusively to trade visitors. Held at the Karachi Expo Center in Karachi, it provides manufacturers, printing companies, packaging businesses, brand owners, suppliers and industrial buyers with a specialised platform to explore the latest technologies, materials and production solutions across the entire printing and packaging value chain.

PRINTPAK focuses on offset, digital and industrial printing, as well as flexographic, gravure and label printing. Exhibits include sheet-fed and web offset presses, digital and large-format printing systems, flexographic and gravure presses, and equipment for narrow-web and label printing. Packaging machinery is another key area, with technologies for the production and processing of cartons, corrugated board, bags, pouches, and flexible and rigid packaging. The exhibition also features a wide range of finishing solutions, including cutting, folding, laminating, die-cutting, gluing, UV coating, foil stamping and bookbinding. Consumables and semi-finished materials such as paper, board, films, printing inks and coatings are also represented.

Digitalisation and automated production processes are playing an increasingly important role in the industry. Accordingly, PRINTPAK also covers workflow software, colour management, CTP and DTP solutions, digital production control, and automated printing and packaging lines within the fields of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing. Sustainability and the circular economy are becoming equally important. Recyclable packaging, resource-efficient production processes and more environmentally friendly materials reflect the industry’s response to evolving market requirements and international sustainability standards.

PRINTPAK is organised by Fakt Exhibitions (Pvt.) Ltd., a Pakistani exhibition organiser serving a range of business and industrial sectors. Beyond showcasing products and technologies, the event primarily serves as a B2B platform for developing business opportunities, supporting investment decisions, facilitating technology transfer and promoting professional exchange between domestic and international market participants. Exhibitors are drawn mainly from the machinery and plant engineering sector, the printing and packaging industries, the paper and board sector, label production, and the inks and coatings industry. Companies specialising in software, automation and production materials are also represented. Key visitor groups include decision-makers, production managers and buyers from printing and packaging companies, brand manufacturers and the processing industries, particularly sectors with substantial packaging requirements.

The Karachi Expo Center is one of the city’s leading exhibition venues and provides suitable facilities for showcasing large-scale machinery and complete production lines. It also offers an effective environment for direct professional exchange between suppliers and industry users. PRINTPAK places particular emphasis on new products, technological innovations, live demonstrations, business networking and knowledge transfer.

By bringing together printing technology, packaging production, materials, finishing, digitalisation, automation and sustainability, PRINTPAK gives trade visitors a comprehensive overview of current technologies and solutions for modern, efficient printing and packaging production. The Karachi Expo Center is located in Pakistan’s commercial hub of Karachi and is easily accessible via the city’s main transport routes.
