Commercial printing, signage, labels and packaging production
DMCC Free Zone combines world's #1 free zone (Fitch) with the flexibility to add activities and visas later, which is why it suits both first-time founders and established groups. DMCC Free Zone issues commercial, professional and industrial licences from its base in Dubai, and GoldenKey processes new registrations there every week. Typical examples of this activity include digital printing, signage, label printing and packaging manufacturing, which can as a rule sit together on one DMCC Free Zone licence. Day to day, external approvals for printing & packaging are: civil defence; National Media Council for publishing print.
DMCC (Dubai Multi Commodities Centre) is the world's most interconnected free zone and Dubai's leading hub for trade and commodities, headquartered in Almas Tower, Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT). Over 20,000 member companies work across 87 towers in a freehold community where offices can be rented or bought from private landlords. Company setup is 100% digital — pre-approval, registration and licensing are completed online in around 2–3 weeks without visiting Dubai. Facilities start with a flexi desk (up to 3 visas), serviced offices (4–5 visas) and physical offices (1 visa per 9 sqm). GoldenKey manages the whole DMCC process for you: application, name reservation, activities, e-signing, office selection and visas.
