Interview – Dayaker Reddy, president of IPAMA
Printpack 2019 garners 42,200 visitors in the first three days
T
he 14th edition of Printpack In-
dia, being organized at India
Expo Centre in Greater Noida,
has garnered an overwhelming re-
sponse from visitors, exhibitors and
foreign delegates who have come to
the show. The event has grown over the
years, so much so that it houses as many
as 510 exhibitors in the current edition.
The show has been bustling with visi-
tors from various parts of the country
right from the first day. According to
data collected by the organizer on the
evening of Day 3 (Sunday, 3 Febru-
ary 2019), the total number of visitors
(first three days combined) at the show
has been recorded to be 42,200. This
number is expected to go up during the
course of the last three days at the show.
As per the feedback received by
the organizers, all the exhibitors at the
show are benefiting from the footfall
the show has been receiving right from
the first day. The organizers say that the
companies participating at the show are
receiving humongous enquiries from
the visitors. “Our initiative this time
around to distribute food coupons and
free water to exhibitors has also been
lauded by many,” says Dayaker Reddy,
president of IPAMA.
“We have delegations from Palestine,
Uzbekistan, Sri Lanka and Nepal. We had
more than 500 visitors only from Nepal
this time at the show. We failed to get del-
egations from just a couple of countries
including Nigeria due to visa issues. We
will try our best to get them next time to
Dayaker Reddy at the Indian Printer and
Publisher stand at Printpack 2019
Printpack India,” Reddy adds.
In the current edition of Printpack
India, IPAMA, organizer of the show,
has segregated a few segments hall-
wise. It plans to include more segments
in the upcoming edition which will
make Printpack all the more promis-
ing. IPAMA has also said that various
companies from different segments
have shown interest in the show which
came as a driving force for IPAMA to
increase the segments next time.
At an event on Sunday evening at
Stellar Gymkhana, Reddy said that the
association is planning to launch the ex-
hibition on the first Wednesday of the
first week of February on every odd year.
“Its going to be a six-day show from now.
We are accepting the confirmation for the
priority numbers 16 February 2019 on-
wards from 10 a.m. The payment mode
will be online transfer of funds via NEFT
or RTGS and no other form of payment
will be accepted from anyone and the
rule remains the same for all,” Reddy
concludes.
