Sign Africa 2011/ Africa Print 2011

The Sign Africa and Africa Print 2011 exhibition took place on the 24 – 26 August 2011 at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg.

The expo saw over 6300 visitors. Fifty exhibitors took part, presenting the printing sector in Gauteng with a range of equipment, inks, material and workflow solutions. Over 500 visitors entered the Visitor Passport competition where entrants had to visit 11 stands and get their passports stamped at each stand. Errol Myers was the lucky winner of the iPad 2.

The PIFSA stand was visited by digital printers as well as traditional printers.  PIFSA has represented traditional printers for 100 years, ensuring that they have a voice and that their concerns are noted and addressed.  Digital printing is becoming more popular as a printing process and needs its own voice to be heard, with new concerns, be they in training, duty issues and environmental practices.

If you are a digital printer in Southern Africa, contact PIFSA to discuss your needs. Join the Graphic Specialty Interest Group within the PIFSA fold and have your voice heard.  Contact PIFSA National Office Johannesburg 011-287 1160 or your regional chamber for more information. There is a PIFSA chamber taking care of every province in South Africa.
