Arabian Printing & Advertising LLC

What Arabian Printing & Advertising LLC does

Arabian Printing & Advertising LLC is a Dubai-based, founder-owned commercial printing services provider established in 1983 (originally as AFDAP by Mr. Kunjumon Parakkal) and currently operating from a purpose-built warehouse in Dubai Production City under a free zone LLC structure. The company offers an integrated suite of eight core services — commercial printing, packaging, digital printing and advertising, print-on-demand, fabric printing, acrylic displays, signage and stands, and corporate gift items — delivered through a single-facility workflow that combines design, pre-press, and post-press activities under one roof.

The technical backbone is anchored in a Heidelberg Speedmaster CD offset press (installed 2007) used for premium finishes including foiling, embossing, spot UV, raised printing, die cutting, spot colors, metallic ink, and high-quality binding. The company serves SMEs and corporate clients across Dubai and the UAE through direct B2B sales engagement, with on-site/doorstep delivery and installation for fabric and signage work. Pricing is quote-based and project-tailored (one-time engagement model), and revenue is not publicly disclosed.

The business is operated with a lean team of 24 employees, serves a single country (UAE), and shows no external institutional investment, partnerships, acquisitions, or disclosed AI/ML capabilities. The company's stated focus is on quality, comprehensive service breadth, and environmental sustainability within the Dubai printing market.
