China as a driving force for print and packaging
China is a major production, technology and sales market for the international print and packaging industry. All in Print China offers international trade visitors the opportunity to experience current technology and investment trends first-hand and gain insights into developments and requirements in the Chinese market.
“International markets are evolving rapidly, with different technological priorities. This makes platforms that provide orientation and facilitate direct exchange across market boundaries all the more important. All in Print China fulfils this role in a key market for our industry and is therefore an important part of the drupa alliance,” says Sabine Geldermann, Director drupa, Portfolio Print Technologies at Messe Düsseldorf.
From AI to packaging production: technologies for the next generation of production
As Chinese manufacturers respond to shorter runs, customization and growing demands for efficiency and intelligent production, AI and automation are becoming essential across the industry chain. All in Print China 2026 will showcase how these innovations are being applied in practical production scenarios, from digital workflows and intelligent process control to printing, finishing and packaging.
The exhibition concept comprises seven thematic areas: Digital Printing & Pre-press, Comprehensive Printing, Packaging Printing & Post-press Converting, Comprehensive Packaging, Label & Flexible Packaging & Materials & Fittings, Inks & Innovative Materials, and Innovative Digital & Intelligent Technologies. On-site events such as Epson New Solution Launch Ceremony will further offer first-hand insights into how these technologies are being translated into the shop floor.
Where know-how meets business: high-level exchange with international reach
Alongside its technology showcase, All in Print China 2026 will present more than 60 accompanying events. The Asian Print Awards will spotlight outstanding achievements and innovations across the printing sector, while thematic forums such as 2026 Shanghai Printing Forum, International Forum on the Cooperative Development of the Sino-European Printing and Packaging Industry will facilitate professional exchange on emerging trends and future development. Indonesia Day will also offer a dedicated platform for industry connections between China and Indonesia.
Business Matchmaking Events and international delegations will connect exhibitors with qualified buyers from Europe, the Americas, Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
