About the show
Printing South China is a Guangzhou trade fair for printed-packaging production, covering pre-press and digital printing, offset, gravure, flexo and screen presses, post-press and carton converting equipment, and the paper, board, film, ink and coatings those processes consume.
The fair is one of four co-located shows, held with Sino-Label, Sino-Pack and PACKINNO, so a single visit covers the chain from printing and labelling through to packaging and the finished pack. Its visitors come from packaging printing plants, carton, label and flexible-packaging factories, plus brand owners and end users in food and drink, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, electronics and e-commerce.
