Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – Yongsheng Strapping, a trusted manufacturer of high-quality packaging solutions, made a significant impact at Gulf Print & Pack 2025, held from January 14-16, 2025, at the Riyadh Front Exhibition & Conference Center (RFECC).[https://www.gulfprintpack.com/riyadh/].As the Middle East’s premier trade show for commercial and package printing, the event attracted over 150 exhibitors and thousands of industry professionals, providing Yongsheng Strapping with a prime platform to showcase its innovative PP/PET strapping bands and fully and semi-automatic strapping machines, while strengthening its foothold in the Saudi packaging market.

Tapping into Saudi Arabia’s Growing Packaging Sector

Gulf Print & Pack 2025 was a strategic opportunity for Yongsheng Strapping to engage with the rapidly expanding Saudi packaging industry, which is fueled by the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 initiative. The Saudi packaging market is projected to grow significantly, with the paper and cardboard sector expected to reach $2.84 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 4.24%, and the digital print sector anticipated to generate $766.58 million by 2032, according to Astute Analytica. Yongsheng Strapping’s participation in this inaugural event underscored its commitment to supporting the region’s demand for efficient, sustainable, and automated packaging solutions.

The event featured global leaders such as Konica Minolta, BOBST, Ricoh, and Canon, alongside Yongsheng Strapping, fostering an environment of innovation and collaboration. Yongsheng leveraged this platform to demonstrate how its products meet the evolving needs of industries like logistics, manufacturing, and e-commerce in Saudi Arabia.

Showcasing PP/PET Strapping bands and Strapping Machines

At Gulf Print & Pack 2025, Yongsheng Strapping displayed its comprehensive range of PP and PET strapping bands, alongside advanced fully and semi-automatic strapping machines, drawing significant attention from visitors. The products on display were tailored to address the diverse needs of modern packaging operations:

PP/PET Strapping Band: Yongsheng displayed 12mm, 16mm width PET strapping rolls for machine/manual packaging with tensile strengths ranging from 800 lbs to 1,500 lbs. These polyester strapping bands are ideal for heavy-duty applications, such as securing pallets, concrete blocks, and industrial machinery in logistics and construction.The PP strapping rolls are available in widths (5~12mm) for lighter to medium-duty tasks, such as strapping cartons in e-commerce. Both strapping rolls are made from recyclable materials, supporting Saudi Arabia’s sustainable development goals under Vision 2030. Their weather resistance (UV, moisture resistance, and temperature adaptability from -20°C to 80°C) ensures reliability in the region’s harsh climate conditions.

Fully-automatic and semi-automatic strapping machines: Yongsheng showcased its fully-automatic strapping machines, which are designed for high-volume operations and combine tensioning, cutting, and welding functions to streamline packaging lines. The electric machines are compatible with both PP and PET straps, making them ideal for industries such as logistics and manufacturing, where speed and efficiency are critical. The semi-automatic strapping machines, also on display, offer flexibility for small operations, allowing operators to secure parcels with minimal effort. Both machine types feature user-friendly designs, such as adjustable tension control and an instant heating system (ready to go in 5 seconds), ensuring high efficiency and safety.

Live demonstrations at Yongsheng’s booth showcased the seamless integration of its strapping tapes with the machines, impressing attendees with their ease of use and reliability. For example, the fully automatic machine efficiently straps cartons with 5 mm PP strapping, highlighting its versatility in terms of application areas.

Addressing Industry Needs with Innovation

The products on display at Gulf Print & Pack 2025 addressed key trends in the Saudi packaging market, including the demand for automation and sustainability. Yongsheng’s fully automatic strapping machines reduce labor costs and increase throughput, aligning with the region’s push for digitalization in packaging operations. Meanwhile, the PET strapping tapes, with their high elasticity and recyclability, offer a sustainable alternative to steel strapping, reducing environmental impact without compromising on strength. This resonates with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 focus on eco-friendly practices, as businesses seek to minimize waste and adopt greener packaging solutions.

A Yongsheng Strapping spokesperson shared, “Gulf Print & Pack 2025 provided us with a fantastic opportunity to showcase our PP and PET strapping tapes alongside our fully and semi-automatic strapping machines. The Saudi market is embracing automation and sustainability, and we’re proud to offer solutions that meet these needs while ensuring secure and efficient packaging for our clients.”

Building Connections in the MENA Region

The event facilitated valuable networking opportunities, allowing Yongsheng Strapping to connect with industry leaders, print service providers, and brand owners across the MENA region. Discussions at the booth focused on potential partnerships, with several logistics firms expressing interest in Yongsheng’s fully automatic strapping machines for their high-capacity packaging lines. Additionally, construction companies were drawn to the durability of the PET strapping bands for securing heavy loads like bricks and steel, as demonstrated in Yongsheng’s product displays.

Yongsheng also gained insights into the specific needs of the Saudi market, such as the demand for weather-resistant packaging materials due to the region’s climate and the need for cost-effective solutions for small to medium enterprises, which the semi-automatic strapping machines and PP strapping bands effectively address.

Looking Forward
