Hosted by Guangzhou Ruihong Exhibition Service Co., Ltd., the 2021 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Shenzhen) International Printing and Packaging Industry Exhibition is scheduled for May 13–15 at the Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center. Supported by industry associations, it also marks a new stage for Shenzhen—the GBA's core city—as it opens a dedicated era for the Greater Bay Area International Printing and Packaging Industry Exhibition.

Gathering the printing and packaging sector to advance transformation and upgrading

As one of China's national strategic development plans, the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area world-class city cluster is gaining momentum. Shenzhen, as a core GBA city, is among the cities with the largest economic aggregate and increment and the fastest growth. Under the dual benefits of the Greater Bay Area and the Pilot Demonstration Area of Socialism, printing and packaging demand centered on Shenzhen is seeing an outbreak.

Strong market demand and significant potential

After years of reform and opening up, Shenzhen's industrial clustering advantage is clear, with a number of clusters that have strong supporting capacity, international competitiveness and a certain scale.

According to China printing enterprise statistics, multiple printing companies in the Pearl River Delta have been listed among the top 100, with the top two both from Shenzhen. Shenzhen is now home to a large number of printing enterprises, with employment reaching the ten-thousand level. According to incomplete statistics, the city's printing industry output value accounts for an important share of the national printing industry total, while imports and exports reach the hundred-million-USD level. Shenzhen has become an important high-end fine printing center in China.

Bringing together the latest production technologies and equipment to drive intelligent industry development

The exhibition advocates internationally advanced computer-to-plate, standardized workflow and network communication technologies, pushing the industry toward multi-color, high-speed, digital and personalized printing. It also encourages printing technologies and processes with independent intellectual property rights, greater substitution and application of clean and environmentally friendly printing and packaging materials, stronger energy saving and consumption reduction, improved design of high-end fine printed packaging, scale production, and greater competitiveness in the global printing market.

Multi-channel targeted promotion to improve exhibitor and visitor returns

One-to-one phone invitations: three months before the show, a professional buyer invitation team makes targeted daily calls to professional visitors nationwide.

Frequent, targeted SMS invitations: the organizer's database has accumulated extensive professional buyer data; using a new SMS platform and scientific, systematic classification, the team sends effective SMS invitations to professional buyers across China.

Greater investment in new media: the exhibition will place targeted promotions on Douyin, Kuaishou, Toutiao, WeChat public accounts and other new media platforms to strengthen show publicity.

Promotion through multiple professional industry media: the exhibition will work closely with relevant industry associations and media on multi-angle pre-show promotion, and organize professional buyer groups to visit and source at the show, expanding its influence.

Printing and packaging deep-processing categories: printing equipment, labeling equipment, prepress equipment, postpress and packaging processing equipment, automated intelligent packaging equipment, print quality inspection, decoration technology, printing machine assembly technology, labels and packaging materials, green packaging materials and products, paper and substrates, inks and coatings, services and software, supporting facilities and infrastructure, etc.

Printing and packaging equipment and raw materials: folder gluers, bag-making machines, paper mounting machines, creasing machines, slotting machines, corner cutting machines, box nailing machines, strapping machines, stacking machines, intelligent robotic laminating, glazing, hot stamping/embossing, die-cutting, slitting, longitudinal cutting, binding and other machinery.

A new global exhibition landmark, empowering new industry development

The Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center is located in the Exhibition New City area, Fuyong Street, Bao'an District, Shenzhen. It sits at the top of the Greater Bay Area bay, the center of the Pearl River Delta and the Guangdong Free Trade Zone, at the intersection of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong Kong core development corridor and the east-west development corridor, and at the junction of the Guangzhou-Foshan-Zhaoqing, Shenzhen-Dongguan-Huizhou and Zhuhai-Zhongshan-Jiangmen city circles. It is one of the three main buildings in Shenzhen's Airport New City plan. The plan uses exhibitions as a core driver and strategic node, combines airport, rail and other regional transport hubs, and develops exhibition commerce, innovative R&D, international logistics and airport-economy-related business formats and clusters to lead Airport New City development.

The Shenzhen International Convention and Exhibition Center is described as the world's largest international exhibition hall, with super-large halls that can host five major exhibitions simultaneously. Major exhibitions and conferences from various industries are locating in Shenzhen.

The printing and packaging industry is no exception: the 2021 Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (Shenzhen) International Printing and Packaging Industry Exhibition has emerged, officially opening a Shenzhen-centered Greater Bay Area international printing and packaging era.
