The first edition of DS Printech China, dedicated to the screen and digital printing industry held from October 28-30, 2020, ended successfully. 200 exhibitors presented the full spectrum of the digital and screen printing supply chain at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Centre. It attracted 8,853 visitors and over 130,000 online participants.
DS Printech China is a rebranding of two existing events, the 30 year-plus CSGIA and Textile Digital Printing China.
“We are very pleased with the outcomes of the first DS Printech China. The reputation in the local industry of our partners, the China Screen Printing & Graphic Imaging Association and Guangzhou Teyin Exhibition Service ensured many of the big domestic players participated this week, while a number of international brands partook through their local offices. Having both the in-person and online events this year provided a much-needed opportunity for the industry to get together, and from the feedback from exhibitors and buyers, the fair has injected a sense of positivity into the industry for the future. Holding the fair in Shenzhen, at the heart of China’s Greater Bay Area, was a strategic decision to ensure exhibitors could capture the business opportunities in the booming South China market. And from the positive comments from participants, we can say that this was the right decision. Exhibitors in particular were pleased with the buyer quality, and reported how many of them were looking for new innovations. Furthermore, we implemented a new online platform this year to ensure international companies could still participate in the fair, while we also held digital printing forums at our Intertextile Shanghai events in August and September to provide more exposure for our stakeholders,” senior general manager, Wendy Wen at Messe Frankfurt said in a press release.
“The main goal for us here is to establish new sales channels, especially in the major apparel manufacturing province of Guangdong. The fair has helped us grasp the exciting opportunities in South China, especially when Shenzhen itself focuses on technological innovation. DS Printech has acted as a catalyst for the industry's recovery. It is more efficient for us to promote our machines in person than online, as customers can learn about the operation of the equipment and the printing effects,” Denis Sun, sales manager, Stahls’ Trading, China said.
“DS Printech China is an ideal platform for us to promote our latest technology which follows the market trend of shorter lead times, as many of the customers we met share this same vision. 20-30 visitors have expressed interests in our products. We also joined the seminar to share our experience, and I think it’s an effective way to form connections with our peers. South China is full of potential so I think the fair can help us capture the possibilities,” Liu Canjun, general manager, Guangzhou Elephant Digital Technology, China said.
“Thanks to our newly launched digital printing products, we have gained a lot of new customers at this fair. This is the first time we’ve joined DS Printech China, and we discovered that the fair is full of high quality customers which match our targets.” Polly Wu, sales manager, Polytech, China said.
