Screen GP Australia managing director Peter Scott said PacPrint has generated a strong pipeline of leads, reflecting growing interest from commercial printers in the expanding labels and packaging sector.
“We’ve had a strong turnout with several high-quality leads coming through. I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the level of engagement and truly appreciate the industry’s support for the event,” Scott said.
Unlike previous PacPrint exhibitions, Screen chose not to display equipment on its stand this year, instead showcasing samples and providing information on its full range of print-on-demand solutions.
“We’ve come in the past with label press that take four days to install and two days to decommission, so this time around we didn’t think that would be necessary and I think we made the right choice,” he said.
The print samples presented at PacPrint 2025 included labels – where Screen, through its partner Jet Technologies, has a major foothold in Australia and New Zealand with the Truepress L350UV series – to other forms of packaging production such as the Truepress PAC 520 – designed to produce recyclable, sustainable paper-based wraps and packs that replace micro-plastic producing hydrocarbon-sourced plastics. Screen also presented samples of production from its Truepress PAC830F.
“We’ve seen strong interest across the board, which has been really encouraging. We’ve connected with several attendees who weren’t previously familiar with us and now have a clear understanding of what we can offer,” he said.
“The label press has been the most talked-about product at our stand, closely followed by our high-speed inkjet solutions.”
Scott said the event has attracted interest from offset printers who currently outsource label work but are now looking to enter the label market in a more serious way.
“\We’ve spoken with many offset printers who currently outsource their label printing but are now looking to bring that capability in-house,” he said.
“Additionally, with the strong presence of sign and display printers at the show – many of whom are producing small runs of stickers – we’ve seen interest from companies considering their next step. While we may not have a solution for them right now, they now know who we are and what we offer, which sets the stage for future conversations as they grow.
“The show has generated a healthy pipeline of leads. There’s clearly a strong and growing interest in labels and packaging because it is becoming such a growth area.”
