Sign & Digital UK will return to the NEC in Birmingham in less than 10 weeks’ time, welcoming a range of new and returning exhibitors
Each year Sign & Digital UK attracts a number of brand new exhibitors who use the exhibition to showcase their products to an engaged and relevant audience. And 2025 is no exception. Next year will see new exhibitors ranging from equipment suppliers to software suppliers take to the exhibition floor for the very first time.
First time exhibitors
China Print Supplies is one such exhibitor. As the exclusive UK distributor of SinoColor UK textile and DTF printing equipment, visitors will be able to see demonstrated live a whole range of equipment that is new to the UK market.
Scott Clutton, managing director, explains why Sign & Digital UK is the right platform for the showcase of these products: “Sign & Digital UK provides an exciting opportunity to connect directly with a highly engaged audience of industry professionals, decision-makers, and potential clients.
“The exhibition gives us a unique opportunity to showcase our latest products and technologies in a hands-on, interactive environment, allowing attendees to experience the quality and functionality of what we offer firsthand.”
Visitors to the China Print Supplies stand can expect to see live demonstrations of the SinoColor FB-0906s A1+ Mini UV Flatbed Printer and the SincoColor FB-2513s 2.5×1.3m UV Flatbed Printer, which are new to the UK market.
Also exhibiting for the first time and showcasing new direct to film printing systems is Mermicornjet. Emma Yu, managing director, says she is most looking forward to engaging with attendees, understanding their challenges, and demonstrating how Mermicornjet can provide solutions to help their businesses.
She adds: “Sign & Digital UK is one of the biggest events in the UK related to our area. We aim to raise our profile in the industry, connect with potential customers, and expand our client base by showcasing our innovative printing solutions.”
Other first-time exhibitors include; xTool, an innovative tech company, L&M Imaging, a supplier of imaging technologies, Baltled, a provider of LED signage solutions, lOVEMOLLY, VKF Renzel (UK), a supplier of point of sale, display and retail equipment, YIDE Display, a manufacturer of exhibition display equipment, Kuori Oy, a specialist in custom-designed outdoor and indoor displays, and Zhuhai Enlite Technology, a manufacturer of wide format inkjet cartridges.
Returning exhibitors
A number of exhibitors will be returning to the exhibition floor after some time away and will use the 2025 event as a way to reengage and reconnect with the Sign & Digital UK audience.
Godrich Sewing Machines is returning in 2025 with new partnerships with Impulsa and Efka. George Brown, service manager, says: “We are most looking forward to meeting existing customers and having the opportunity to reach out to more customers. Partnering with these two companies which are well-established across the world is a new and exciting opportunity for Godrich Sewing Machines.”
Also returning is Premier Bond, one of the UK’s largest signage material suppliers. Imran Haider, chief executive officer, says: “At the previous exhibitions, we garnered a noticeable new customer base, an expanded industry network, and benefited from the expertise on offer from the other exhibitors.”
Another exhibitor returning with a new online training platform is The Online Print Coach aka Colin Sinclair McDermott. If you’re looking for a way to give your business a boost in 2025, then Colin is the man for you. He says: “Having exhibited at Sign & Digital UK once before, it was an easy decision to book again. I converted a number of leads last time around and some of my best customers I work with today came from me exhibiting last time around.”
Colin will be presenting his new online training platform and community ‘Print Mastermind’ to visitors. He adds: “Not only will visitors get to demo the platform with myself, but they’ll also be able to meet with some of our current members and hear how it has benefited both them and their business.”
Other returning exhibitors include; AE Sewing Machines, a supplier of industrial sewing machines and Hexis UK, a supplier of vinyl.
Co-location with Printwear & Promotion LIVE!
Sign & Digital UK is recognised as a central part of the industry calendar. The exhibition co-located with Printwear & Promotion LIVE! for the first time in 2024 and as a result saw an increase in visitor numbers with more than 5,500 people attending across the three days.
The two exhibitions will co-locate for the second time in 2025 in Halls 19 and 20 at the NEC in Birmingham. Visitors will be able to explore new products and services from more than 180 exhibitors across the two halls when they visit the co-located exhibitions in February.
