With an impressive 2024 edition, The Print Show has been hailed successful with growing visitor numbers at the end of the three-day show hence simultaneously unveiled a new co-located show for 2025 to broaden its appeal.
According to Event Director – Chris Davies; “The general consensus from exhibitors is that the quality of visitors has been fantastic, building on the success of last year. And building on high presence of wide-format exhibitors at this year’s show which included the likes of Agfa, China Print Supplies, CMYUK, InkTec, Liyu UK, Mutoh, Resolute DTG and debutant Summa, there will be a new show to be co-located with The Print Show named; The Sign Show.
“Signage events have become heavily influenced by wide-format print, and while this is of course crucial for many signmakers, The Sign Show will offer a co-located event dedicated to traditional signage from signwriting and vinyl wrapping to sign fabrication and engraving” explained Davies while noting further that; “We felt now was the perfect time to offer an event for the UK market that covers both the print and signage industries in one place,”.
The show organisers – Link Exhibitions are also expanding on the The Print Show’s ‘Knowledge Zone’ which featured standing room only sessions from the likes of Webmart Founder and Chairman – Simon Biltcliffe and Solopress Managing Director – Simon Cooper, culminating in The Sign Show to also focus on workshops and real-time product demonstrations.
Both The Print Show 2025 and The Sign Show 2025 will take place across 23 to 25 September at the NEC, Birmingham UK.
