The future of printing and packaging is converging in Dubai, and ARMOR-IIMAK is at the heart of the evolution.
As we return to Gulf Print & Pack 2026, held from March 31 to April 2 at the Dubai World Trade Centre, we aren’t just bringing ribbons; we’re bringing a new standard for the Middle East market. Following our successful expansion in the region—highlighted by our new Dubai office—this year’s showcase focuses on two game-changers: the revolutionary AWR XL and our premium inkanto services.
The Star of the Show: Introducing AWR XL
The Thermal Transfer industry has traditionally been driven by price, but ARMOR-IIMAK is shifting the conversation toward operational excellence and sustainability. The launch of AWR XL at Gulf Print 2026 marks a “Wax Revolution.”
What makes AWR XL different?
- More Uptime, Less Waste: Built on an ultra-thin 3.35µm PET film—the thinnest in the industry—AWR XL allows for much longer rolls. This translates to a 40% increase in printer uptime because you spend less time changing rolls.
- The Greenest Wax Ribbon: Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword; it’s measurable. Every roll of AWR XL reduces plastic waste by 26% and saves approximately 830g of CO2.
- 0% Solvents: This is a 100% solvent-free ribbon, making it the ideal choice for businesses looking to comply with tightening environmental regulations while maintaining high-quality print density on paper substrates.
More Than a Product: The inkanto Experience
At our booth, you’ll also experience the inkanto difference. We believe a ribbon is only as good as the service that supports it. inkanto is our commitment to a “hassle-free” printing experience through exclusive services:
- Lifetime Guarantee: Every inkanto ribbon is guaranteed for life against any manufacturing defect.
- Printhead Care: To maximize your hardware’s lifespan, every box includes a free cleaning wipe, and our ribbons feature the CleanStart® leader to clean the printhead automatically during installation.
- Digital Traceability: Simply scan the QR code on any inkanto box to instantly access its Certificate of Conformity (CoC) and technical data.
- and many other benefits…
