Organisers of The Print Show and The Sign Show are delighted to announce that more than 5,000 visits were recorded across the two events this year, 34% more than in the previous year.

In total, 5,379 visits were reported during the three-day events, which both ran from 23-25 September. The Print Show returned for its ninth edition this year, while The Sign Show was making its debut, co-located with its sister event in Hall 3 of the NEC in Birmingham.

Both shows were hailed a tremendous success, with exhibitors across the hall reporting high levels of footfall, leads and, in some cases, on-stand sales. Epson, Agfa, Fujifilm, swissQprint, InkTec Europe, Vivid Laminating Technologies, Antalis and Plockmatic Group were among the stand-out names in The Print Show section of the hall, while HP, Hybrid Services (Mimaki), Graphtec GB (Mutoh), Roland DG and EFKA Frame Solutions were all in attendance for year one of The Sign Show.

Crucially, such was the success of The Sign Show that organisers have confirmed it will return in 2026, again co-located with The Print Show, which will celebrate its 10th edition in 2026. The two shows will again take place at the NEC, switching to a larger hall to accommodate an expected increase in stand demand. Dates will be confirmed in the coming weeks.

“For me, this was the best event we have ever put on. As an organiser, we wanted to step it up a notch this year, including an improved entrance area and an enhanced Knowledge Zone speaker area, and both visitors and exhibitors really responded to it.
