Registration is now open for Labelexpo Asia 2025, the region’s largest event for the label and package printing industry. Taking place at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre (SNIEC), the show is expected to attract over 450 exhibitors showcasing the industry’s most innovative technology across 40,000+ sqm, a 20 percent increase from the previous iteration in 2023.

Labelexpo Asia 2025 represents the most relevant industry platform as the Asia-Pacific region remains the largest consumer of labels globally, accounting for approximately 45 percent of the total market, and China, producing 58 percent of Asia’s label consumption, the leading region for the industry. 

Tech trends on the show floor 

As a hotbed for industry trends at the forefront of innovation, the show will display a wealth of digital and flexographic printing technologies with exhibitors such as Weigang, Pulisi, Flora and GIP-Spande launching digital-flexo hybrid solutions, for example.

The increasing interconnection of label printing and expansion into flexible packaging is also a key technological trend presented on the show floor. Spande, for example, has introduced its AC series printing line with web widths of 700–800 mm, while Weigang, Zonten and Wanjie show wider machines and promote the application of label printing technologies to flexible packaging.

Kevin Liu, China Group Director, Labels Group said: “We’re thrilled to open registration for Labelexpo Asia 2025, which is set to be our largest and most innovative showcase yet for the label and package printing industry. This year’s exhibition reflects the dynamic evolution we’re seeing in the industry and takes place in the region with the world’s highest growth rates for all types of printed packaging.”

Connecting and celebrating the industry

Labelexpo Asia 2025 will continue to deliver on a program tailored to foster connection, education and business. 

Some of the key features include master classes on materials and digital printing, as well as a RAIN Encoding Master class and dedicated spaces such as Smart Zone and an RFID trail. 

Fostering meaningful connections, the show will be the platform for a forum in partnership with CBE (China Beauty Expo) and the 2025 Label Forum with The Packaging Printing and Labeling Professional Committee of the China Packaging Federation. There will also be further opportunities to accrue industry knowledge at partner events such as the AWA Alexander Watson Associates China Label & Release Liner Seminar 2025.

The show will also continue to celebrate the industry by recognizing its very best at the Label Industry China Awards.

Jade Grace, Managing Director, Labelexpo Global Series, said: “Labelexpo Asia 2025 is in a privileged position at the epicenter of global label market innovation, with Asia-Pacific consuming 45 percent of the world’s labels and China driving 58 percent of regional demand. During its 22 years history, the show has grown as a leading industry platform to showcase the latest innovation and technology and has become an essential platform where this pivotal market connects, learns, and advances together.”
