What Can Visitors Explore at the Exhibition?
The event’s scope brings traditional printing methods and newer production technologies into one venue. Visitors can use the exhibition to explore screen printing systems, digital workflows, industrial inkjet applications, textile printing processes, UV printing and the materials that support them. Businesses evaluating automation may also find intelligent printing solutions relevant to their operations.
For a productive visit, identify the applications that matter to your business before travelling. A textile printer may focus on fabric compatibility, colour consistency and production speed, while an industrial buyer may prioritise substrate suitability, maintenance needs and integration with existing equipment.
Who Should Consider Attending?
SDPE CHINA 2026 may be relevant to printing businesses, textile and garment manufacturers, packaging companies, equipment distributors, sourcing teams and professionals assessing industrial printing technology. It may also be useful for companies looking to compare suppliers, discuss specifications and understand how different systems perform in practice.
Meeting several exhibitors at one event can help teams ask consistent questions and make more informed comparisons. Request written specifications and quotations where needed; an exhibition demonstration alone may not reflect performance in your own production setting.
Planning a Business Visit from India
Start by setting a clear purpose for the trip. Shortlist the product categories you want to review, identify exhibitors you wish to meet and allow time for follow-up conversations. Confirm visitor registration, exhibitor appointments, opening hours and entry arrangements with the event organiser.
Check Your China Visa Requirements Early
If you are travelling to China for exhibition meetings, check the current visa category, application process and document requirements applicable to your itinerary before applying. Your supporting documents should accurately reflect the reason for travel, proposed meetings, dates and travel plans. Visa rules and processing timelines can change, so refer to the relevant Chinese visa authorities for the latest requirements and apply with sufficient time before departure. See our China corporate visa (M Visa) guide for fees, documents and the application process.
Questions to Ask Potential Suppliers
Keeping the answers in one comparison sheet can help your team evaluate options after the exhibition.
