Covering all aspects of label production, Labelexpo Asia is aimed at printers, brand owners, industry suppliers and packaging, label and graphic designers. As well as showcasing the latest presses, materials, finishing equipment and automation technology, the show will feature the Digital Trail and the SMART Zone, which will highlight the latest intelligent and interactive label and packaging products designed to enrich consumer engagement, increase security and prevent fraud.

James Samuel, events portfolio director, Labelexpo Global Series says, “The industry continues to show good growth and 2017’s show is set to be our largest edition to date with a bigger show floor than 2015’s record-breaking event.

"China and the wider Asian continent remain a key market for commercial gain, especially as the market continues to mature and become more sustainable and sophisticated in its use of technology. Attending this year’s Labelexpo Asia will give Chinese printers an essential insight into how they can help their businesses to thrive and add tangible value for the customer.”

Labelexpo is supported by industry partner, the Printing and Printing Equipment Industries Association of China (PEIAC) and will comprise strong educational content and new feature areas.
