ExpoPrint & ConverFlexo showcases unprecedented technological printing solutions
Wednesday 21. August 2024 - This evolution has a direct positive impact on the printing process itself. The machines have minimal setup time and perform tasks at impressive speeds, with unparalleled reproduction quality. Integrated software is essential for automation, controlling the work and preventing errors.
ExpoPrint Latin America brings together the market’s leading companies, all under one roof, to unveil global launches in São Paulo – Brazil from March 24 to 28, 2026. The event, celebrating its 20th anniversary, is organized by Afeigraf (Association of Equipment and Supplies Agents for the Graphic Industry).
Evolution of Offset Printing
The printers and supplies that will be part of Brazilian print shops next year are always first seen at ExpoPrint Latin America. These technologies are impressive for their automation. The pre-press sector of offset printing has evolved its process, which is now faster and uses fewer harmful substances to the environment.
Finally, finishing processes, whether for a book, magazine, brochure, or premium printed material for promotional purposes, have also evolved and automated to ensure production quality is not lost in the final stage. The leading finishing companies will be present at ExpoPrint.
Stronger Digital Printing
Digital printing offers new horizons to the printing industry across all segments. It is a key ally for commercial and promotional print shops for small print runs that are not profitable with offset, offering variable data and maximum personalization.
From small to large printers, it’s possible to produce everything from unique special prints to books on demand, allowing printing companies to meet all client needs, regardless of their specific requirements.
In the signage and large format sector, digital printing completely dominates. In 2026, ExpoPrint will highlight this evolution. Solutions never before seen in Brazil will be showcased by major global players, who have already confirmed their presence at the event and are currently planning the best machines and supplies to meet the needs of the Latin American market.
With ConverFlexo taking place alongside ExpoPrint, attendees will witness how digital printing has grown in packaging, labels, and corrugated cardboard sectors.
Today, it’s possible to produce everything from a small cardboard box to industrial-scale print runs for major brand campaigns, as well as personalized labels for special gifts to thousands of labels for craft breweries.
Flexography keeps pace with trends
The motto of the trade show is “If it’s printing, it’s ExpoPrint & ConverFlexo!”— a statement that strongly resonates. Flexography is keeping pace with the technological evolution of the printing and converting industry and will be represented in all its forms.
In the narrow web segment, everything that needs to be observed in the production of labels and tags will be showcased at ConverFlexo, a special section within the show dedicated to all aspects of converting. Printers, inks, anilox, double-sided tapes, photopolymers, pre-press equipment, software, and much more will be featured at the event.
The same goes for wide web and the recently introduced mid-web segments. Companies will present solutions and discuss trends such as extended color gamut, the use of monomaterials, and a strong focus on sustainability.
Finally, the corrugated cardboard sector will receive special attention due to environmental demands. This sector has exploded, and the event will show how the rise in online shopping and delivery services positively impacts the market.
Technical and educational initiatives
An extensive educational and technical program is being prepared by APS Eventos, the organizer of the fair. The free activities offer a comprehensive overview for business owners, combining knowledge, technology, and the best environment for generating business opportunities.
