Increased presence of the Print sector

The print sector, which includes packaging printing equipment , labels, 3D, printing machines, post-printing, finishing and flow management, is particularly well represented. Christophe Delahaye, Market Manager at Comexposium, says that this year:

“The trend is very good, particularly for print. Compared to last year’s event, we’re up by almost 20% in terms of the floor space booked by print professionals”.

Among the exhibitors are some of the major players in the graphic arts sector: MGI, Xeikon, HP, Epson, Domino and Pitney Bowes.

Solutions for printing packaging and labels

Christophe Delahaye believes that this increase can easily be explained by the strong presence of the print players. The coming edition will be strongly marked by developments in the print sector.
