Printers from around the world are set to go through the doors of the biggest Fespa China today, with some 450 exhibitors ready to welcome them onto their stands. Fespa China, held at Shanghai New International Expo Centre over the next three days, is 30 per cent bigger than the inaugural Fespa China 2013 in Shanghai.
Organisers say visitors will be able to ‘find their key to success’ at the third Fespa China and CSGIA collaborative event, as exhibitors showcase new products and technology across digital, screen and textile wide format printing. The show includes international brands such as Mimaki, Monti Antonio, Kornit Digital, Brother, Epson, Kiian, J-Teck and MS Printing. Local manufacturers include: Shanghai Hexuan Industrial Co; Guangzhou Tome; Shenzen Lopo; Xingke; Hangzhou Yulan; Wuhan Yili Electronics Co; Beijing Fulei and Shanghai RICH, among many others. The event also has an education conference, which will take place tomorrow, October 22, on the exhibition floor, providing visitors with the ‘opportunity to listen to various experts from local and international companies including Epson and Ningbo Shenzhou Knitting Co’. Neil Felton, Fespa CEO, will provide attendees an insight about trends within the global print community, through the Fespa Print Census findings. Seminars will be in both English and Chinese. Roz McGuinness, Fespa divisional director, say: “It is great to be back in Shanghai for the third iteration of Fespa China and to see the support we have gained from the Chinese and international print community. “The 30 per cent increase in floor space shows the value that exhibitors and visitors put in the Fespa China event. The exhibitor line-up will be a fantastic showcase of the latest technologies and solutions from both regional and international manufacturers and suppliers. “Printers increasingly looking to expand and diversify their business are seeking to embed new technologies to complement their existing offering. Fespa China, in conjunction with CSGIA, will provide visitors with a forum to gain knowledge through the educational sessions and share experiences and insights with their peers. All the tools are there to help printers find their keys to success.” Charlie Taublieb, president of Taublieb Consulting and screen print guru, will also host a workshop throughout the show covering all things relating to textile print and garment decoration while providing takeaway business tips. Visitors will also be able to attempt various garment screen printing techniques and special effects in the hands-on sessions. Visitors interested in vehicle wrapping and the opportunities it presents can visit the Vehicle Wrap Workshop, where Ole Solskin, Fespa World Wrap Masters judge, will demonstrate the latest wrapping techniques, as well as providing visitors the chance to try wrapping vehicles themselves.
