From May 11th to May 13th, Toronto, Canada, buzzed with excitement as the highly anticipated Graphics Canada Expo 2023 took place. For the first time, DesignNBuy exhibited at this prestigious event, which proved invaluable. The expo not only provided us with a platform to showcase our cutting-edge technologies but also allowed us to gauge the evolving demands of the Canadian printing industry amidst the transformative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Exploring the Canadian Market
The Canadian printing industry has undergone significant changes in recent years, with a growing demand for automation and the need to adapt to the post-pandemic landscape. Graphics Canada Expo 2023 was the ideal setting for Design’N’Buy to connect with Canadian printers and gain first-hand insights into their requirements and aspirations. Our goal was to understand their evolving needs, especially in terms of automation and omnichannel capabilities.
