EXHIBITORS ARE EXCITED ABOUT PackPrint

After the recent success of PRINT® 05 & CONVERTINGSM05, it is evident that a need exists for a combined trade show covering commercial printers and flexible package printing equipment and supplies as well as related specialty companies, trade finishers, dedicated foil stamping shops, etc.  The combination of a graphic arts show and a package printing show on a non-annual basis is a great opportunity.  Bobst Group has reserved booth space for PackPrint 2007.  It is our expectation that it can deliver a wide range of suppliers to make this an important industry event.”

Chris Raney, Vice President, Bobst Group USA, Inc.

“The trade show circuit has become splintered in recent years. Instead of one major show, you have all these little regional shows. By combining the commercial printing market and the package printing and converting market, PackPrint has the potential to be the U.S. equivalent of drupa. It gives a company such as us the ability to reach the entire printing market in one venue.”

John Thome, Vice President of Marketing,
BST Pro Mark

“The concept of placing the entire print community—both commercial and package printing and converting under one roof—is what caused us to take notice and express serious interest in PackPrint. We like the concept that capitalizes on the continuing convergence of the various printing, converting and graphics market segments. It’s different from what we’ve seen with other niche exhibits that, in all honesty, have proven quite disappointing in recent years.”
