The doors open between February 22nd to 24th for Sign & Digital UK, the UK’s longest-running exhibition dedicated to the visual communications and signage industries – and once again the event promises to unite creativity, technology, and community at the heart of the sector.
Co-located with Printwear & Promotion LIVE!, the exhibition provides seamless access across Halls 6, 7 and 8 through a single registration, enabling visitors to explore more than 160 exhibitors presenting the latest products, services, and production technologies to an anticipated audience of over 6,000 professionals. The result is a dynamic, fully connected showcase spanning signage, digital print, garment decoration, and visual display – a true reflection of the modern communications landscape.
For more than three decades, Sign & Digital UK has brought together leading brands, major stakeholders, and thousands of professionals from across digital printing, sign-making, and display. Its enduring relevance lies in the balance it strikes between heritage and forward momentum – honouring traditional craft while championing the technologies, skills, and ideas shaping the future of visual communication.
That sense of shared progress is also reflected in the strong presence of Independent Print Industries Association members across the exhibition floor – with the IPIA exhibiting itself on stand M28. Collectively, their participation reinforces both the association’s visible support for the event and the collaborative strength of the wider print, signage, and visual communications community.
The Knowledge Centre will present expert-led sessions on business strategy, marketing, and social media, ensuring attendees leave not only inspired but equipped with practical insight to strengthen their organisations in a rapidly evolving marketplace.
IPIA members on the show floor

Roland DG, exhibiting on stand H30, will present its latest generation of production technologies with a clear focus on enabling signage professionals to unlock commercial growth. The high-production IU-1000F flatbed UV printer demonstrates the scale, speed, and image quality required for large-format signage, while the VersaUV LEC2-300printer/cutter reveals how clear ink can create simulated embossing, textured finishes, and Braille alongside vibrant CMYK and white output. For personalisation and direct-to-object production, the VersaUV LEF2 series delivers sharp white, vivid colour, and tactile effects across a wide range of materials. Completing the showcase, the TrueVIS VG2-640 eco-solvent print-and-cut platform provides exceptional colour accuracy, refined cutting precision, and efficient production capable of producing finished graphics within hours.
Vivid, located on stand Q20, will showcase its comprehensive portfolio of laminating, cutting, and special-effects finishing solutions. Central to the display is the Razar, engineered to deliver precision digital die-cutting and creative embellishment without traditional tooling. By enabling intricate contour cutting, complex geometries, labels, short-run packaging, and highly personalised applications with speed and repeatable accuracy, Razar transforms finishing into a primary driver of commercial differentiation – aligning directly with demand for rapid turnaround, personalisation, and high-impact visual presentation.
printMAX will welcome visitors to stand L24, where the company will demonstrate a broad range of Roland and Mimaki print technologies. Showcased solutions will span roll-to-roll print-and-cut systems through to the latest LED-UV flatbed platforms from Roland, alongside Mimaki’s newest eco-solvent, LED-UV flatbed, and roll-to-roll printers. Exclusive show offers, live demonstrations, and opportunities for face-to-face discussion will form a central part of the stand experience.
