Over the last 18 months Packaging MEA has been building a vibrant knowledge exchange through a bimonthly magazine.
The first Packaging MEA Forum – in Dubai on 9-10 December 2014 – will focus on

◆ Sustainability with life cycle analysis
This unique forum has been tailored to encourage trade, technology transfer, investment and
growth in the packaging industry in Middle East and Africa.
Speakers and participants will encompass business strategy, brand communication, graphics
design, structure design, materials, pre-media, prepress, printing, converting, brand and pack
