2025 is only months away, and we have put many thoughts into what we can and shall cover. We have decided to focus on Labelexpo, Printpack India, and PRINTING United Expo - these shows cover geographically and segment-wise the most - and we can serve our audience the best by focusing on fewer shows but more dense. Evaluating the number of shows (mostly international shows), we believe there are too many, and there is a need to consolidate these—just like every other business in our industry. You may wonder why we don't have FESPA on the list, but though we have covered FESPA for many years, it's a one-way street with little interest in working together with us—fair, but a fact. We, of course, look very much forward to covering the events we have been invited to cover, like Hunkeler AG Innovationdays #HID25 - and we also know a few more are on the radar for 2025. #Printing #PringinIndustry

Trade visitor numbers at #Drupa2024 were 170,000 according to figures released today by Messe Düsseldorf. That's nearly 35% - or more than 90,000 visitors - down on the Drupa 2016 figure of 260,165. And below pre-show hopes of hitting the 200k mark. However, many exhibitors have certainly been very positive about the quality of attendees and the amount of business done at the show. The visitor numbers reflect a changing and consolidating industry, and the fact that attending is much more expensive than it was. Time will tell, come the wash up and when all the bills have come in, what the sentiment will be for 2028. #events #printing #packaging drupa – no. 1 for printing technologies

Discover the transformation of the print and packaging industry. At drupa 2024 the hot topics are sustainability and digitalisation.

There should be plenty of topics to talk about.

This report is based on data provided by 85 participants in the midyear 2024 PRINTING United Alliance State of the Industry Survey whose primary business is commercial printing. Annual sales (all sources) range from less than $500,000 to more than $200 million. And 70.2% have diversified beyond commercial printing into specialties such as wide-format graphics, packaging printing/converting, and apparel decoration. Topics include how cost inflation, prices, real (inflation-adjusted) sales, and pre-tax profitability trended through first quarter 2024, current and leading business index, expectations for the full year, what concerns commercial printing companies, what commercial printing companies do better. What are the next disruptors. Analog-digital transition, and sustainability plans. It also highlights the pivotal role of artificial intelligence and big data revolution.

drupa – no. 1 for printing technologies becomes a 9 day event in 2028. Interesting to see that apart from reducing the no. of days(IMO, the last 1-2 days are always slow regardless of the show duration), what are the other changes that we could witness?
