The co-located shows saw a attendance of 5,567 visitors
The Print Show and The Sign Show organisers has announced a year-on-year increase in attendance for this year’s edition of the co-located events, with the final attendee figure reaching 5,567.
The co-located events took place from September 29 to October 1 at the NEC in Birmingham, with The Print Show celebrating its 10th anniversary and The Sign Show its second.
The overall attendance figure represents a 4% increase on last year’s total of 5,336, however in 2025 350 visitors were from the PPMA Show – driven by a partnership between the two shows – which shows, after ‘crossover’, attendance was 12% higher year-on-year.
Chris Davies, event director of the two events, said: “We are delighted with the response to both The Print Show and The Sign Show this year. More people were in the hall across the three days and that is a reflection on the quality of the events we put on.
“It was the best line-up of exhibitors we’ve ever had, with some of the biggest names in print in attendance.”
The visitors could see manufacturers and distributers such as HP, Epson, Roland DG, Agfa, Hybrid Services (Mimaki), swissQprint, Vivid Laminating Technologies, CMYUK, and Soyang Group.
Alongside an increase in attendance numbers, organisers have also confirmed that multiple technology sales were completed in the hall across the three days, including CMYUK who sold a new EFI VUTEk M3h 3.2m and Vivid Laminating Technologies who sold several pieces including a 3.2 VeloBlade Nexus.
In addition to the technology and products visitors could also experience the Knowledge Zone, the all-new Print Mastermind Live, with Colin Sinclair McDermott and The Print Show Podcast Booth.
