In a conversation with PrintWeek, Claudia Yan of the Siegwerk China, explaining the importance of the show, said, “The global economy has been experiencing a recession in recent years. Printing industry is also within the impact range. It has been a normal situation for printing exhibitions in Europe, America or Japan to have smaller show sizes, fewer visitors and lower trade volume. However, China Print 2013, organized by the Printing and Printing Equipment Industries Association of China (PEIAC) and the China International Exhibition Center Group Corporation (CIEC Group), is writing a completely different story with its rapid booth sales. During the press conference on Drupa in May of 2012, the organizer has announced that 100,000 square meters of NCIEC's indoor show space has already been sold out, with over 200 exhibitors' demand. Since then, the total show area keeps increasing till 160,000 square meters, with nearly 1,000 exhibitors participating. The show size has increased 60% comparing with the last China Print.”

“Trade show is known as barometer of economy and industry development. In the 33 years after adopting the reform and opening -up policy, China has created an epic with average double-digit annual GDP growth. The steady growth of the printing industry is the foundation of China Print's development in 30 years. In these 30 years of trails and hardships, the show has grown together with China’s printing industry and is now stepping on the international stage together with Chinese printing professional. In China Print, this year, will not only be a national printing exhibition brand, but also a grand gathering the global printing industry,” she added.
