Free to enter, Labelexpo Asia is the region’s leading working machinery show, offering networking opportunities with the who’s who of the industry. Aimed at label, flexible packaging, folding carton and general printing/converting professionals, the event is also a must attend for brand owners, label designers and industry suppliers.
John Davy, event director of Labelexpo Asia commented: “We’re delighted to be returning to Shanghai to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the show as China continues to stagger us with how fast it is developing, how dynamic it can be and the how much potential it really has. This year we will break visitor and exhibitor records with more than 150 working units being demonstrated and approximately 25 new product launches being unveiled. It is very interesting to see how the number of international and local Chinese exhibitors is balancing, making us the only true international event. We are delighted to be at the forefront of this market phenomenon and anticipate the results of the show with great excitement.”
