Season’s Greetings and a Happy New Year to all my industry leaders, innovators and printer friends.
It is truly an honour to connect with you all at this challenging time. We are all aware that our print industry has played a pivotal role in shaping communication, commerce and culture across the globe. The world around us is transforming at an unprecedented pace. The rise of e-commerce, the demand for sustainability, and the integration of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence and automation are defining a new era for the printing and packaging industry. Businesses are under pressure to deliver high-quality, personalized, and eco-friendly solutions—often at a faster pace and lower cost. As we embark on the new year, it’s clear that the printing sector is undergoing rapid changes, and as printers, we must remain agile to meet the challenges and seize the opportunities that lie ahead. In order to progress we need to imbibe change and evolve towards a better future.
I am excited to share that the All India Federation of Master Printers (AIFMP) is organising knowledge seminars, industry summits & exhibitions of machinery and equipments in order to provide a platform to printers to come and explore new technologies, share insights and work together towards growth of businesses.
Our Federation last month organised an international conference, focusing on “Empowering MSMEs by Providing New Opportunities in the Printing and Packaging Industry”, which was supported by the Ministry of MSME Govt. Of India, and many such events are lined up in future.
From 1st to 5th February 2025, the exhibition PRINTPACK (Organised by IPAMA) is being held at India Exposition Mart, Greater Noida, Delhi NCR, wherein approx 600 exhibitors are showcasing latest machineries and technology.
From 24th to 26th April 2025 the All India Federation of Master Printers is organising the exhibition “BHARAT PRINT EXPO” at Bangalore International Exhibition Centre, wherein latest machineries and technologies will be show cased.
As we move forward I urge all stake holders to visit and benefit from the above events. We at AIFMP are committed to supporting our members and the wider industry with initiatives that foster innovation, growth, and sustainability. I look forward to welcoming every member, affiliates, industry leaders, and all stakeholders, to join us in these exciting upcoming events. Together, we can continue to build a strong and resilient printing industry. Needless to say that “The power of printing and packaging lies not only in the products we create but in the connections we enable and the possibilities we inspire.”
Wishing you all a successful and prosperous year ahead.
