Saudi Signage and Labelling Expo returns to Riyadh

  • Expo runs from May 20-22 at Riyadh Exhibition Center hosting over 150 exhibitors from 15 countries
  • Event will be held alongside newly launched Saudi Paper and Packaging Expo

RIYADH: The Saudi Signage and Labelling Expo, the Middle East’s leading event for the digital, print, graphic and imaging sectors, returns to Riyadh International Convention and Exhibition Center from May 20–22.

Exhibition organizer dmg events told Arab News that the event remains the Kingdom’s largest platform for industry professionals to connect, source new solutions and drive business growth in the signage and labeling sectors.

Co-located with the newly launched Saudi Paper and Packaging Expo, the events bring together over 14,000 industry professionals to explore the latest products, technologies and services shaping the signage, labeling, print and packaging industries.

As a response to the Kingdom’s evolving demand for signage and packaging industries, the events come at a time when the country’s signage market is projected to reach $492 million by 2027, driven by increased adoption across retail, hospitality, transportation, healthcare and corporate environments. At the same time, the paper and paperboard packaging market is estimated to hit $2.84 billion by 2029.

With businesses working towards capitalizing on this upward trajectory, the events will showcase more than 150 exhibitors from over 15 countries including Germany, Turkiye, China, India, Taiwan and Italy, highlighting over 2,500 products and services.

“Building on the success of the inaugural event last year, the expo has expanded by 80 percent to meet the growing demand for unique and progressive solutions in the signage, print and branding sectors,” said Muhammed Kazi, senior vice president of construction at dmg events.

“With the addition of Saudi Paper and Packaging Expo, we are creating a comprehensive marketplace that addresses the industry’s evolving needs, offering visitors and exhibitors an unparalleled platform for business growth and innovation,” he added.

The event will host leading international and regional exhibitors, including CMYK, offering advanced printing solutions; Digital Star Machinery and Equipments, specializing in signage production technology; Desert Sign Arabia, a key player in large-format printing; Alnab Almoudeei Trading, a distributor of digital printing materials; and Euro Media, known for high-quality graphic and imaging solutions.

The event will highlight advancements in sustainable packaging, flexible printing and automation, allowing businesses to explore new solutions and partnerships.

Saudi inventor wins two gold medals at Mideast International Invention Fair

  • Khudry was recognized for inventing a device designed to filter materials and recycle used liquids
  • The innovation aims to improve efficiency in liquid purification and reuse

RIYADH: Saudi inventor Duaa Nizar Khudry won two gold medals at the 16th International Invention Fair in the Middle East (IIFME), held in Kuwait from February 8 to 11, the Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

Khudry was recognized for inventing a device designed to filter materials and recycle used liquids, an innovation aimed at improving efficiency in liquid purification and reuse. The technology has potential applications in environmental protection, industrial processing, and water conservation, particularly in regions where sustainable resource management is critical.

A member of the Mawhiba Alumni Program, Khudry represented Saudi Arabia with the support and nomination of the King Abdulaziz and His Companions Foundation for Giftedness and Creativity (Mawhiba), which was participating in the fair for the third time.

She received her first gold medal from the fair’s organizers and was also awarded the IFIA Best Invention Award by the International Federation of Inventors’ Associations, recognizing her innovation as one of the most outstanding entries in the exhibition.

The IIFME, organized annually by the Kuwait Science Club since its launch in 2007, is regarded as one of the region’s largest specialized invention exhibitions and a major platform for inventors to present their work to international audiences.

As a student, Khudry won first place nationwide at the National Olympiad for Scientific Creativity (Ibdaa) in 2013 for the same recycling device, competing against tens of thousands of students across the Kingdom. She later obtained an official patent for the invention in 2024, strengthening its scientific and commercial potential. 

She studied chemistry and is currently pursuing graduate studies in materials science and engineering under the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques Scholarship Program. Her research focuses on environmental sustainability, advanced materials, and liquid purification technologies.
