The drupa 2016 exhibit categories were revised and updated and are now divided into six main segments (formerly seven): pre- press/print; pre-media/multichannel; post press/converting/package printing; future technologies; materials; and equipment/ services/infrastructure. All technical processes related to the areas of printing and crossmedia, the entire range of applications and business areas will be presented at the trade fair. Solution-oriented technologies and applications as well as innovative business ideas and best-practice examples will be the focus. At the show’s last staging in 2012, 1,844 exhibitors from 52 nations and 314,248 visitors from 130 countries took part.
Started in 2003, All in Print China, China International Exhibition All About Printing Technology and Equipment, has become one of the most influential exhibitions for its industry in China and the world. Serving as a platform for communication ideas and new developments, All in Print China significantly contributes to the progress and the future of China's printing sector.
