It addresses the growing demand for high-quality packaging labels, flexible packaging, security printing, and commercial printing driven by Iraq's expanding retail, FMCG, and industrial sectors.
3. Packaging Technology: A core focus area, the packaging section will display machinery for filling, sealing, labeling, cartoning, palletizing, and complete packaging lines. It emphasizes solutions for primary, secondary, and tertiary packaging, including sustainable packaging options, automation, and smart packaging technologies, crucial for improving efficiency, shelf-life, and brand appeal.
