Latin America’s packaging market is growing — but what many suppliers underestimate is how fast customer expectations are changing.
It’s no longer just about buying a folder gluer.
Converters are asking tougher questions:
Can this machine handle both folding carton and corrugated jobs?
How fast is changeover?
Can it reduce labor dependency?
Can it support higher-value applications like Braille, inspection, or premium finishing?
We’ve been hearing these conversations more frequently across Mexico and Latin America.
That’s exactly why at Expográfica 2026, we’re not just showing machines — we’re discussing how converters can stay competitive when margins are tighter and job requirements are becoming more complex.
From folder gluers and die cutters to flute laminators and hot foil stamping solutions, the real conversation is about building production lines that stay flexible for the next 3–5 years.
DGM will be in Guadalajara this week meeting partners, customers, and packaging professionals who are navigating these same challenges.

If you’re attending Expográfica, what’s the biggest challenge you’re seeing in the carton converting business right now—labor, margins, short-run jobs, or something else?
