PackPrint Put on the Backburner for Now

RESTON, VA—The Graphic Arts Show Company (GASC) firmly believes PackPrint has a bright future. But it seems the present isn’t quite ready for the package printing show, as the GASC announced it would not be held concurrently with Graph Expo 2007 from September 9-12 in Chicago, as planned.

In the end, it was a matter of insufficient vendor support. According to Ralph Nappi, president of GASC, the goal was to sell 50,000 square feet for the inaugural PackPrint. GASC pulled the plug with 40 vendors having accounted for 26,000 square feet.
