IPP exhibits in Nigeria for the first time ever

The show was slated from 9-14 May at Lagos, Nigeria. The IPP delegation showcased samples of hard-case and soft cover books, with a variety of section-sewn, centre-stapled and loop-bound books to visitors at the show.

The range includes educational, medical and scientific journals, text, reference and coffee-table books printed on a variety of imported special papers such as Galgo and Cordenons, and premium coated and uncoated papers, both Indian and imported.

Also on display were IPP’s innovation and expertise in adding more value to its production with special book covers printed on metallised and holographic films with matt and gloss contrast, irodium and texture. Not to be missed are colouring, magic and sticker books with ‘look’ and ‘feel’ techniques such as abrasive UV, thermal prints and removable stickers.

IPP’s packaging talent comes in handy for its book production with a range of e-fluted and micro-fluted packaging and dispensing options for books, a must for modern retail trade.

Rishabh Singhvi, executive director of IPP, said, "The African market carries huge potential and our exports to the continent are growing steadily. We partnered and collaborated with publishers and partners in North and Central Africa. Furthermore, we are  open to setting up production facilities in this part of the world."

IPP is a regular exhibitor at Frankfurt, London and Bologna book fairs each year.

Other than IPP, Repro India had also participated at the NIgeria book fair.
