In spite of recent demonetisation, with thousands of manufacturers and traders still grappling with Rs 50,000 weekly limit on cash withdrawals, we have received amazing responses from the regular and dedicated participant manufacturers to highlight their products and innovations.

The demand for space from exhibitors at PrintPack India 2017 has made IPAMA management take cognisance. Thus, the organiser has opened a new hall besides the halls already packed.

We are sure that the participants' displayed innovations would prove a source for creating user delight as well as enhance performance to generate greater value for printers and print buyers at large.

The prime focus for all participants of PrintPack India 2017 is value addition in printing, packaging and converting segments. We are certain that innovations, to be displayed by the manufacturers, will create sustainable employment opportunities, which in return, will be responsible for economic growth.

We have already confirmed bookings of 272 (50 more in pipeline) participants with 13.600 sq/m (as of 30 November 2016). Our expectation is that in another couple of weeks' time, we are going to touch a figure of more than 400 participants with the space of total 20,000 sq/m. This shows the confidence and faith of our participants in IPAMA.

This year, we are offering all international standard facilities for both participants and visitors. With this, visitors will have much easier way of registration besides online registration available at www.printpackipama.com.

This mega show is being held in the country's largest international standard exhibition centre at Greater Noida. The show will provide visitors an opportunity to enter the ever-growing printing, packaging, converting and digital sectors – and will also offer opportunity for marketing, joint-ventures, technology transfers and outsourcing of components, etc.
