Printwear & Promotion LIVE! 2025, which takes place on 23-25 February at Birmingham’s NEC, will include several key returning exhibitors following a period of absence. Returning after perhaps the longest time away is Starworld, which last exhibited in 2007. The manufacturer is marking 2025 as the year of its return and will introduce visitors to both its core styles and new product lines. “As the most important UK event of the industry, why would we show anywhere else?” says Starworld’s Joanne Pattinson.
“It’s been more than 10 years since Stedman (pictured above) last exhibited at Printwear & Promotion LIVE!,” adds Marcel Schweigert, general manager at Stedman. “After a break from the event, we are thrilled to return. For us, it’s the perfect platform to engage directly with distributors, decorators and end-users who value quality and sustainability in apparel. This show’s dedicated focus and high level of attendee engagement make it an ideal setting to share our brand and vision with a broader audience.”
Stedman will showcase its latest collection and refreshed product line at P&P LIVE! 2025.
Other exhibitors returning after a notable absence include wholesale distributor Absolute Apparel, headwear manufacturer Sharon Lee, and printwear manufacturer Gildan. Sally Johnston, Sharon Lee’s general manager, comments: “It has always been a vibrant show with a lot of core industry suppliers showcasing their products, so we feel it is time to return.”
Other exhibitors returning to P&P LIVE! after a period of absence include AIM Smarter; Atlantis Headwear; Barudan; Bursali Towels; eTrader; Famona; Fruit of the Loom, Russell Europe & JERZEES; Golden Finishes; Insignia16; K.T. Labels; Next Level Apparel; R.A. Smart; Polymark; and Stormtech.
Printwear & Promotion LIVE! remains the only exhibition dedicated to the UK’s garment decoration industry. In 2024, the exhibition attracted record visitor numbers of more than 7,500 after a successful first co-location with Sign & Digital UK. The two exhibitions will co-locate for the second time in 2025, offering around 180 exhibitors across two halls.
