The 10th edition of printpack Alger and the 9th edition of plast Alger, held from March 30 to April 1, 2025, at the SAFEX Alger exhibition center, was a resounding success. With 5,403 professional visitors from all industrial sites in Algeria and 302 exhibitors from 22 countries, this event underscored its exceptional importance. The growing market for innovative printpack solutions in Algeria was the primary factor that kept both exhibitors and professional visitors highly satisfied.

The exhibition was entirely focused on Algeria, with 94% of visitors coming from within the country and the remaining 6% from other nations such as Tunisia, France, etc. Notably, only 42% of Algerian visitors came from Algiers, while the rest came from other regions. The top 20 cities of origin for visitors included Algiers, Sétif, Blida, Bordj Bou Arréridj, Oran, Tizi Ouzou, Béja?a, Constantine, Tlemcen, El Eulma, Batna, Gharda?a, Boumerdès, Annaba, Médéa, A?n Benian, El Oued, Akbou, A?n M'lila and Bouira.

According to a digital satisfaction survey of exhibitors conducted after the event: 87% were satisfied or very satisfied with the overall event; 94% would recommend it to their peers; and a staggering 94% planned to exhibit at the next edition. Innovation was at the heart of this event alongside sustainability and recycling themes. This made printpack Alger a crucial platform for learning and networking.

Innovation and sustainability were central themes that made printpack Alger a key forum for raising awareness among Algerians about environmentally friendly materials and packaging practices. The event played a crucial role in educating attendees about circular economy practices.

Martin März from fairtrade stated that with $161 million in packaging technology imports in 2023—making Algeria the second-largest importer in Africa after South Africa—there is significant potential for growth. Sabine Geldermann from drupa highlighted that according to VDMA data: "Algeria's imports of printing and paper technology rose to $95 million in 2023 from $57 million in 2016," making it the third-largest importer in Africa after South Africa and Egypt.

The organizers are looking forward to welcoming participants for the next edition scheduled for March 30 to April 1 in 2026. They will continue to support national pavilions such as those representing Germany and Italy.
