PacPrint, Australia's premier print, sign, and graphics trade show, has signed its marquee sponsors for next year’s expo for ANZ industry professionals.
The platinum sponsor for PacPrint 2025 is inkjet sign, display and promotional print solution developer Roland DG. In addition, industry sponsors including Spicers, Pozitive, Sign & Graphics Supplies, Mutoh, Epson, Graphic Art Mart, Fujifilm, HP, Mimaki and Celmac are also signed up. According to PacPrint, the sponsors represent a diverse representation of key players in the print and visual communications sectors.
PacPrint says that from sustainable printing solutions to software solutions, the expo, being held in Sydney for the first time, will "provide a comprehensive view of the future of print and visual communication".
The four-day event, at the Sydney Showgrounds Dome, Hall 2 and 3, from May 20-23 next year promises "a wide range of activations designed to inspire and inform".
Highlights include product launches and demonstrations, where visitors will witness the unveiling of new technologies and software solutions. PacPrint says this is "an excellent opportunity" for businesses to explore tools that can streamline their operations and boost profitability.
There will also be a series of educational seminars and workshops, where industry experts will share insights on the latest trends, challenges and opportunities within the sector.
PacPrint also enables multiple networking opportunities, with thousands of industry professionals expected to attend. Attendees will be able to connect with peers, potential clients, and suppliers, fostering, says the organiser "collaborations that could lead to new business ventures and partnerships".
There will also be special focus areas on innovation, providing a comprehensive view of the rapidly evolving landscape of visual communication.
"PacPrint25 will provide industry businesses with ideas, intelligence, information and inspiration to grow, innovate and thrive in our industry," said PacPrint25 board chair Kirsten Taylor.
"It offers ideas to those who are looking to diversify and showcases current technology with the latest equipment. It's a show where suppliers, customers and visitors come together to collaborate and share the incredible industry we work in. It is also an opportunity to introduce our industry to new talent, with education and networking programmes."
The organiser says that with the event just nine months away, the floorplan is filling fast. The event is co-hosted by Visual Connections and the Visual Media Association, and will be co-located with wide-format expo Visual Impact Sydney and the Label and Packaging Expo.
The organiser says this partnership ensures that the event will not only cater to current market demands but also set the stage for future trends and developments in print, sign, and graphics.
PacPrint 2025 supersedes PrintEx, which traditionally alternated with Melbourne-based PacPrint every two years, and was a much smaller show.
