Gulf Print & Pack, the MENA region’s leading print and packaging technology trade event, will now take place from 28 – 30 September 2026 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, organizer Informa has confirmed. It was originally set to take place from 31 March to 2 April 2026.

Though the organizers stated that running the event in September creates enhanced flexibility for participation for the labels and package printing industry’s community attending from over 100 countries, the present conflict in the region likely triggered the postponement.

Marking its 15th edition, Gulf Print & Pack 2026 offers business and networking opportunities for commercial printers, print service providers, packaging converters, and print buyers. Informa’s production, brand and logistics team says they are committed to ensuring that the September dates will work for all participants and are on hand to provide assistance and answer any questions.
