SDPE China 2026 - the 48th ASGA Asia Pacific Screen Printing & Digital Intelligent Printing Expo - takes place November 18-20, 2026 at the Canton Fair Complex in Guangzhou, China. More than 600 exhibitors and around 30,000 professional visitors from 80+ countries are expected across 40,000 square meters of exhibition space.

What is on show

The expo covers the full production chain for specialty printing: screen printing machinery and plate-making equipment, UV flatbed printers, heat transfer and sublimation systems, digital textile printers, specialty inks, transfer films, laser cutting and finishing equipment, plus AI-driven color matching and print-on-demand platforms. Dedicated zones cover textile printing, industrial printing, smart manufacturing, cross-border e-commerce and packaging.

Why it matters for overseas buyers

Guangzhou sits inside the Pearl River Delta manufacturing cluster, so the show is less about concepts and more about production-ready equipment and materials at source prices. For buyers of custom printed products - stickers, labels, reflective decals, rigid signs, banners and light boxes - the show is a fast way to benchmark what Chinese factories can currently produce, and at what cost.

Practical notes if you plan to attend: pre-registration is free for professional visitors, the venue is Zone B of the Canton Fair Complex (380 Yuejiang Middle Road, Haizhu District), and English is widely used at exhibitor booths. November is also a good time to combine the visit with factory audits in Guangdong and the wider region.

Our take as a manufacturer

Trade shows are useful for seeing technology, but you do not need to fly to Guangzhou to buy at factory prices. We have been screen printing in Qingdao since 1998 - vinyl stickers, reflective safety decals, coroplast signs, acrylic signs, banners and packaging - and we quote from artwork and quantity within one working day, with samples before bulk production. If you are comparing suppliers you met at the show, send us the same specification and we will give you a like-for-like quotation.
