Digital Print Asia (DPA) 2.0 2026

Self Adhesive Labels Industry In India and The World

The pressure sensitive adhesive labels and packaging industry is growing at a steady and rapid pace in India. It is now time that the contribution of those who have achieved success is chronicled so that those who wish to move ahead have a platform to look for information, news and interaction. This Website intends to provide all that along with inspiration and reference.

Digital Print Asia (DPA) 2.0 will bring the digital printing ecosystem together on 24–25 September 2026 at Hilton Bengaluru Embassy Manyata Business Park, with this year’s edition centred on: AUTOMATE • ACCELERATE • ACHIEVE.

Moving beyond technology-led conversations, DPA 2.0 will examine how automation, AI, smarter workflows, emerging applications and data-led decision-making can translate into higher productivity, stronger margins and sustainable growth.

The two-day programme will feature industry leaders including Sergey Belokurov, Shashi Ranjan, Mehul A. Desai, Leonard J. Fernandes, Janus Annunciation, Ajay Aggarwal , Ayush Rathi & many industry leaders bringing perspectives from across the digital print value chain.

A key feature, DIGITAL³, will bring together three pathways to digital growth: Pack to Profit, Press to Publish and Pixels to Product. The tracks will explore opportunities across packaging, publishing and commercial print, focusing on applications, workflows and commercial viability.

Another key takeaway will be the DPA Playbook, a practical resource being developed for printers. Designed as an operations-focused digest, it will capture tools, frameworks, checklists and key session learnings that businesses can refer to beyond the summit while evaluating workflows, productivity and growth opportunities.

DPA 2.0 is backed by leading digital print industry players and technology partners, reflecting strong industry participation behind the platform. The summit is also supported by the All India Federation of Master Printers (AIFMP), while Label & Packaging World comes on board as a media partner, amplifying key conversations and developments across the wider print and packaging ecosystem.

“Digital printing has reached a stage where the conversation must move from capability to commercial impact. DPA 2.0 is designed to help the industry understand where digital can create measurable value, improve productivity and open new growth opportunities,” said Tushar Dhote, Curator, Digital Print Asia.

With 50+ speakers, 24+ sessions and 300+ attendees expected, DPA 2.0 aims to deliver practical learning, meaningful networking and business-focused outcomes.
