Print Philippines 2026 and PrintCon 2026 are currently taking place at the SMX Convention Center in Pasay City from July 2 to 4, 2026, marking a historic milestone for the Philippine printing industry. Organized by the Printing Industries Association of the Philippines (PIAP) in collaboration with the Philippine Printing Technical Foundation, Inc. (PPTF), this unified trade show brings together equipment, materials, prepress, finishing, and packaging solutions all in one venue. It is a unique opportunity for industry players to see the latest machinery in action, compare suppliers side by side, and reconnect with peers and partners in the trade.
This year’s event is particularly significant as it represents the first time that PrintCon and Print Philippines are held under a single platform, emphasizing the strength of collaboration within the industry. This continues its tradition of fostering industry discussions on emerging trends, workforce development, sustainability, and cutting-edge technologies. Meanwhile, Print Philippines 2026 showcases the latest printing equipment and innovations, providing a platform for business-to-business networking and market expansion. The integration of these two events underscores a shared commitment to strengthening the industry’s competitiveness and resilience amid the digital transformation sweeping across multiple sectors.
A key highlight of Print Philippines 2026 and PrintCon 2026 is their ability to consolidate the entire spectrum of printing technology and supplies in one comprehensive platform. Whether participants run a commercial press, a quick-print shop, a packaging line, or a wide-format studio, the events are built around their specific business needs. Attendees can explore the newest machines running live demonstrations, providing firsthand experiences of cutting-edge innovations. The event also facilitates side-by-side comparisons of different suppliers’ offerings, helping printers make informed decisions about their investments and upgrades.
The partnership between the Philippine Printing Technical Foundation and PIAP was formalized during a recent press conference at PTTC, emphasizing their shared goal of boosting industry competitiveness and preparing Filipino printers for future challenges. The event featured panel interviews covering topics such as industry collaboration, government and private sector partnerships, and community engagement. The signing of a memorandum of understanding marked the official start of this strategic alliance, reinforcing their joint commitment to industry growth.
The event continues to lead discussions on technological advancements, workforce skills, and sustainability initiatives. Concurrently, Print Philippines provides a comprehensive exhibition platform to showcase the latest innovations and foster business opportunities. Together, these events aim to connect industry stakeholders—including printers, suppliers, designers, entrepreneurs, educators, and investors—creating a vibrant ecosystem for growth and innovation in the Philippine printing industry. Their combined efforts highlight a forward-looking industry that embraces change and positions itself for long-term success in a rapidly digitalizing world.
