Welcome to a preview issue to drupa 2016, Germany where we highlight some of stakeholders’ expectations at world biggest print show whose doors will be opened for business from Tuesday 31st of May and be shut for the next 3 years on Friday 10th of June 2016. So first, flip pages 24 and 25 to read the COVER STORY – a DRUPA EXPERT ARTICLE on DIGITAL VERSUS TRADITIONAL PACKAGING PRINT. The article exposes you to the wide range of business opportunities inherent in your adoption of digital print for your conventional packaging print business like labelling.
There are series of exclusives on our PRINT IMPACT AROUND NIGERIA (from page 14) culminating in SPECIAL FEATURES on the happenings in the industry such as SPECIAL FEATURE – VISTA 25TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION (from page 26) with a One-On-One Interview with Vista Chairman – Mr. Dev Varyani on his plans for VISTA for the next 25 years (on page 31); and SPECIAL FEATURE INTERVIEW with one of the world’s biggest textile machine manufacturers – KORNIT DIGITAL (on page 40).
This issue will not be complete without the POST-SHOW REPORTS of the leading events for screen and digital printing in Europe – FESPA DIGITAL (page 12) and the biggest packaging, printing and allied exhibition in Africa – PROPAK AFRICA 2016 (check this out from page 32).
Until next edition, I invite you to explore the City of Düsseldorf – which means “fascination of variety”. A mix of Rhenish charm and sophisticated elegance makes the city irresistible. Thus, it is no wonder that Düsseldorf has repeatedly been elected one of the cities with best quality of life worldwide.
For your travel arrangement, talk to Messe Düsseldorf representative in West Africa – Trade Fair Services LTD who has put together some highly attractive travel package with free print and allied workshop – just for the Nigerian delegation.
Caveat: Plan adequately for drupa – or else, you will have yourself to blame.
See you in Düsseldorf to find out what this iconic City of the Rhine has to offer:
Keep doing good!
