Over 220 exhibitors to set the stage at DS Printech China this month

Taking place twice a year, the fair presents suppliers from multiple printing sub-sectors with the valuable opportunity of connecting with target buyers face to face. Following the success of DS Printech China in Guangzhou, the Shanghai edition will take place from 21 – 23 November 2023 in Halls E4 and E5 at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre.

In the wake of multiple positive market forecasts, industry-leading exhibitors across the 17,250 sqm fairground will showcase a complete spectrum of screen printing, digital printing and textile printing innovations. Additionally, a series of seminars, forums, and workshops will be featured concurrently to enrich participants’ experiences.
The spirited Chinese printing market is increasingly interested in new, data-based business models, digital platform solutions and end-to-end digitised value chains. Ms Wilmet Shea, General Manager of Messe Frankfurt (HK) Ltd, commented: “The growing demand of screen, digital and textile printing opens up profitable prospects for the domestic market. On the whole, DS Printech China is well-placed to serve the market, as the country is Asia-Pacific’s most significant apparel embroidery production and consumption hub. Chinese end-customers have more disposable income to spend on discretionary items such as customised T-shirts, and with the cutting-edge exhibitors on show at this edition, the fair’s buyers have a great opportunity to enhance their offerings.”
DS Printech China, the prominent platform dedicated to the digital and screen printing industries, is the to-go event for industry professionals from across China and beyond its borders. During the three-day show, a wide range of exhibitors will be presenting their technological advancements, set to take advantage of growing cross-industry demand.
