There is so much to explore and discover when Printwear & Promotion LIVE! 2023 opens its doors on Sunday 26 February at Birmingham’s NEC.
The exhibition remains the only national event dedicated to the thriving garment and promotional product decoration industry. Vibrant and interactive, it presents the ideal platform to meet all of the key suppliers within the industry, discover new garment decoration equipment, and explore new season printwear styles.
“Printwear & Promotion LIVE! provides one of the longest serving, most widely known platforms for equipment, consumables, networking and knowledge transfer in the UK,” says Nova Chrome UK’s technical manager, Ian McDowell. “The offerings go far beyond the name, with every year delivering something new to see. The benefit here doesn’t need explaining – whatever you’re visiting the show for, you’re bound to find it.”
Equipment receiving its UK debut during the exhibition ranges from direct to film printers to screen print carousels and multi-head embroidery machines. There will also be some exclusive product launches yet to be announced.
New exhibitors
This year, the three-day exhibition welcomes more than 15 new exhibitors displaying a variety of different products and services, including bespoke clothing; socks; trophies and engraving; digitising services and direct to film print equipment, plus much more.
One of these first-time exhibitors is Cre8iveSkill, a leading creative service providing agency for companies engaged in embroidery and print in the US and Europe. Debashish Ghosh explains why the company has decided to exhibit.
“Printwear & Promotion LIVE! is our first trade show and we will gain an altogether new experience. Until now, we have been meeting clients digitally via email, but this will be our first one-to-one meeting with our prospective customers. Exhibiting in person means we can express ourselves more clearly and would be able to understand their requirement directly without any communication gap.”
Expert advice and inspiration
Printwear & Promotion LIVE! also offers the ideal platform to learn from a whole host of industry experts. During the three days, exhibitors will be on hand to answer any technical questions when it comes to using equipment or perfecting technique.
Visitors can also expand and develop their know-how in The Decoration Advice Suite and The Knowledge Centre. Topics covered in The Decoration Advice Suite include direct to film printing, sustainable embroidery and productivity hacks. Over in The Knowledge Centre, meanwhile, attendees can take away practical business tips, social media advice and marketing pointers.
Doors open on Sunday 26 February
Tony Gardner, event director, says; “In a challenging economic climate, it is vital that the show continues to inspire its visitors. With the help of our regular exhibitors, together with the significant number of returning and new exhibitors joining us this year, we are confident that the show will provide the vibrant and dynamic environment to do exactly that.”
All of this presents P&P LIVE! 2023 as an ideal opportunity to see the latest innovative product launches, meet all of the major suppliers from all corners of the industry, and if you’re new to the garment decoration industry, learn more from the industry experts.
