Digital Print Asia, Bharat Print Expo and NAEP & GPEA Awards will come together from 12–15 May 2027, connecting industry knowledge, business opportunities and print excellence at BIEC, Bengaluru.
The Indian printing and packaging industry is set for a significant gathering as Print Sangam brings together Digital Print Asia, Bharat Print Expo and the National Awards for Excellence in Printing (NAEP) & Global Print Excellence Awards (GPEA) at the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC), Bengaluru, from 12–15 May 2027. A collaboration between the All India Federation of Master Printers (AIFMP) and ReEnvision Events Private Limited, the initiative creates a connected experience where knowledge, exhibition and industry recognition converge.
The initiative aims to bring together the different dimensions of the printing industry, from business transformation and technological advancements to professional excellence, industry recognition and commercial opportunities.
Digital Print Asia 2027: Changing the Mindset Behind the Business
The four-day industry journey begins on 12 May 2027 with Digital Print Asia, a knowledge-driven summit built around the theme “Mind Your Business… not just your Print!”
The theme addresses an increasingly important challenge for printing businesses: investing in better machinery does not necessarily translate into better business performance.
As automation, digital workflows and emerging production technologies transform the industry, Digital Print Asia 2027 will encourage printers to look beyond equipment specifications and rethink how they manage operations, evaluate investments, build capabilities and make strategic decisions for long-term growth.
By bringing together print entrepreneurs, technology specialists, industry professionals and business leaders, Digital Print Asia aims to encourage conversations that help businesses adapt to change rather than merely respond to it.
Bharat Print Expo 2027: Connecting Technology with Business Opportunities
Building on these conversations, Bharat Print Expo 2027 will bring technology and business opportunities to the exhibition floor from 13–15 May 2027 at BIEC, Bengaluru.
Positioned as South India’s Largest Printing Exhibition, Bharat Print Expo brings together the technologies, solutions and businesses shaping the future of the printing and package converting industries.
The exhibition will cover a broad range of industry segments, including commercial and offset printing, digital printing, labels, flexible packaging, corrugated packaging, print finishing and allied technologies.
The exhibition offers printers and converters the opportunity to examine machinery firsthand, compare solutions and engage with equipment manufacturers and technology suppliers. Brand owners, print buyers and packaging professionals can explore capabilities relevant to product development and packaging decisions, while participants across the industry can connect with suppliers and identify opportunities for diversification, investment and growth.
NAEP & GPEA Awards 2027: Celebrating Excellence in Print
Alongside the exhibition, 13 May 2027 will also celebrate the achievements of the printing industry through the National Awards for Excellence in Printing (NAEP) and Global Print Excellence Awards (GPEA).
The awards recognise the craftsmanship, technical capabilities, creativity and innovation that continue to raise standards across the printing and packaging industry.
NAEP has established itself as a distinguished recognition platform within the Indian printing community, celebrating the quality and expertise demonstrated by printing organisations and professionals.
Complementing this, GPEA celebrates the pursuit of excellence in print and packaging, acknowledging work that demonstrates innovation, creativity and exceptional production quality.
Together, the awards represent an important dimension of Print Sangam: recognising not only technological progress, but also the people, skills and dedication behind outstanding printed products.
The gathering is also expected to provide opportunities for interaction among printers, converters, brand owners, technology providers and industry leaders who share a commitment to advancing the standards of print.
One Journey Connecting Knowledge, Exhibition and Recognition
The central idea behind this initiative lies in the relationship between its three platforms.
Digital Print Asia encourages the industry to rethink its approach to business. Bharat Print Expo connects businesses with technologies and commercial opportunities that support growth. NAEP & GPEA recognise the excellence achieved through skill and innovation.
Together, they represent three essential aspects of industry progress: learning, advancement and achievement.
Bengaluru will serve as the host city for this synergy, with the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre providing the common venue for all three platforms.
