South China Label Show attracts 4,000 visitors

The first South China Label Show welcomed 4,021 visitors to the event this week in Guangzhou.

The majority of visitors came from China, with others arriving from India, Malaysia and the Asia Pacific region. There was also a large Japanese delegation led by local magazine Label Shimbun.

The three-day show boasted 90 exhibitors, 16 working presses and a large number of other machinery units. Xeikon displayed its new 3500 digital press for the first time in China at the event.  

Twelve conference sessions ran alongside the show. The keynote presentation, delivered by Roger Pellow, managing director of the Labelexpo Global Series, and Ilkka Ylipoti, VP Asia Pacific of UPM Raflatac, looked at global trends and opportunities in the industry and the current position of the Chinese printing market.

Following the success of the show, the Labelexpo Global Series has announced that it will return to Guangzhou in 2012.

Roger Pellow said: ‘I am very happy with the first edition of the show. The label industry in China is constantly evolving and is one of the most exciting segments of the printing industry. We were pleased to provide a platform for visitors and exhibitors to meet, network and do business and look forward to seeing the industry again at Labelexpo Asia, November 29 to December 2 2011.’
