Labelexpo Asia to host industry roadshows across China

Held in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai, the three events are an opportunity for printers and media to gain an exclusive insight into what the 2019 edition of Labelexpo Asia has in store.      

Each roadshow will be led by Kevin Liu, Labelexpo Asia project director, who will reveal the latest industry trends as well as present show highlights. He will be joined by representatives from PEIAC, and, for the event in Guangzhou, leaders from Guangdong Printing Association and Guangdong Packaging Association. The roadshow dates and locations are as follows: 

Beijing: Asia Hotel Beijing, 16 October 2019
Guangzhou: DoubleTree by Hilton Guangzhou, 17 October 2019
Shanghai: Shanghai Huating Hotel, 18 October 2019 

Kevin Liu, Labelexpo Asia 2019 project director, said: ‘Following the success of our extremely popular 2017 roadshows, once again we are delighted to be able to offer this series in the run-up to Labelexpo Asia 2019. Flexible packaging in particular is set to be a major theme at this year’s show for the first time, with the introduction of our Flexpack feature area, so we would encourage printers looking to move into this rapidly growing sector to attend one of our roadshows. We strongly recommend early booking as places are strictly limited.’ 

Labelexpo Asia is the largest label and package printing event in the region, and will run on December 3-6 at Shanghai’s New International Expo Centre (SNIEC). 

Chinese exhibitors include Brotech, HanGlobal, Jinda, KingLabel, Rhyguan, SilkStar, Spande, Taiyo, Wanjie, Weigang, Winbosc, Zhongshan Fuzhou and Zhongte. Overseas exhibitors include Avery Dennison, Dilli, Domino, Lintec, Konica Minolta, Omet, Ritrama and UPM Raflatac.

The new Flexpack area will showcase the latest technology in flexible packaging. Visitors will get to see in-line presses in action, as well as learn about the latest innovations in inks, coatings and surface treatments such as corona for flexible packaging and laminating films. Ancillary machines will also be demonstrated, such as high-speed slitting equipment for master flexible packaging rolls. An educational program of expert-led master classes is also planned to complement the Labelexpo Asia 2019 exhibition. 

Entry is free to Labelexpo Asia. Visitors should pre-register on the show website to receive their full exhibition pass.
