InPrint Munich is the only international trade show devoted exclusively to industrial print and additive manufacturing for product decoration, packaging, textiles, automotive, ceramics, glass, plastics, electronics and life-science. Organised by CCE International, the two-day event takes place every two years at Messe München and is co-located with LOPEC and productronica; the 2025 edition is scheduled for 1 – 2 April. The format is strictly in-person and bilingual English/German. Roughly 120 exhibitors from 20 countries occupy 4,000 m² of floor space and present live machinery running on water-based, UV, LED-UV, EB, solvent and functional inks, nano- and conductive inks, powder, foil and 3-D printable polymers. Visitors—around 3,000—are production managers, R&D engineers, packaging technologists, brand owners and machine builders who need to integrate print into existing manufacturing lines, shorten time-to-market or add security, haptic or electronic functions to products. A two-track conference runs parallel to the show. Morning plenary sessions analyse market drivers: EU packaging regulation, brand demand for sustainable decoration, digital replacement of analogue processes, and the growth of printed electronics in automotive interiors. Afternoon technical streams dive into ink-jet print-head life-cycle management, colour-consistency across hybrid lines, inline quality inspection with AI vision, low-migration ink formulation for food contact, and hybrid additive manufacturing combining ink-jet with dispensing and pick-and-place. Confirmed 2025 keynote speakers include Dr. Andreas Weidner, Head of Functional Printing, Fraunhofer IAP; Dr. Carla Wilkinson, Global Packaging Innovation Director, Unilever; Klaus Richter, SVP Operations, BMW Group Plant Leipzig; and Prof. Arne Glöckner, Head of Printed Photonics, Chemnitz University. Networking features are “Speed Innovation” tables where OEMs meet ink and component suppliers, a Start-up Zone backed by Bayern Kapital, and guided tours themed “Print for e-mobility”, “Sustainable Decoration” and “Functional Fluids”. An academic poster wall awards a €5,000 prize for the best paper on printed sensor systems. Admission is trade-only; conference delegates receive show-floor access, evening reception ticket and digital proceedings.
