Andigráfica 2025: Graphic Industry Event Returns to Corferias, Bogotá With Over 150 Exhibitors

Andigráfica, the trade fair in the graphic sector in Latin America that takes place every two years, will take place from June 17 to 20 in the Gran Salón de Corferias. This edition will bring together more than 150 exhibitors and more than 30 speakers, who will address the advances, challenges, and opportunities of the industry. This event is organized by the Colombian Association of the Graphic Communication Industry, ANDIGRAF, and Corferias.

If you are a customer, belong or want to start your business in segments such as machinery and graphic equipment, packaging and containers, labels, books and publications, commercial printing, textile, suppliers and graphic services, this is the ideal scenario to learn about trends and innovations and connect with visitors from all regions of Colombia and delegations from abroad of the graphic industry; a sector that has established itself as one of the most stable.

It should be noted that, while the manufacturing sector registered a contraction of 2.1% in 2024, the printing industry presented a growth of 0.8%, evidencing a greater capacity to adapt to sectoral dynamics. This behavior allowed it to reach a 5.2% share of the industry’s GDP. In addition, it is estimated that in that same year, the sector was responsible for generating around 280,000 direct jobs and reached a production of close to $5.8 billion pesos.
In terms of exports, the graphic communication industry exceeded $559 million USD, highlighting segments such as containers and packaging, supplies, and labels.

“Without a doubt, this meeting will be the opportunity to continue strengthening the industry. For this year, we expect to welcome more than 15,000 visitors, surpassing the attendance of 2023. In addition, we have joined forces so that visitors have access to a rich academic agenda in which more than 40 experts will participate,” said Ana Garibello, project manager of Andigráfica, Corferias.

Tatiana Duarte, executive president of ANDIGRAF, highlighted that, “This will be the best version of Andigráfica so far, not only because of the growth in the number of exhibitors and the exhibition area, but also because of the expansion of key spaces such as the Congress, which in this edition goes from 2 to 4 days. In addition, it will mark a milestone for the Association that celebrates 50 years of work and commitment to the graphic industry”.
