The Exhibition Value of the Ningbo Printing and Packaging Show
- The Zhejiang (Ningbo) Printing Industry Exhibition (NPPIE) is one of the largest and most specialized events in the printing and packaging sector within the Yangtze River Delta region. Co-organized by the Zhejiang Provincial Printing Association and the Ningbo Printing Industry Association, and leveraging Ningbo’s strategic location as an economic hub on the southern wing of the Yangtze River Delta and a major national port, it has evolved into a pivotal platform for connecting global supply-chain resources, showcasing cutting-edge technological advancements, and shaping industry trends.Held annually at the Ningbo International Convention and Exhibition Center, the 2026 edition will take place from April 23 to 25, serving as a key indicator of market direction for the printing and packaging industry in Eastern China.
- The core value of participation lies in its unique ability to connect exhibitors with the Yangtze River Delta’s central market and its highly concentrated pool of professional buyers.For the 2026 event, the exhibition space is projected to reach 30,000 square meters, bringing together over 500 exhibiting companies and attracting approximately 30,000 professional visitors. In 2025, the show already achieved nearly 20,000 square meters of exhibition area, hosted more than 300 exhibitors, and welcomed over 20,000 professional attendees, with on-site transaction volumes exceeding RMB 100 million—an increase of roughly 15% compared to the previous edition. Among the professional audience, about 65% hold direct purchasing authority, and 85% establish business relationships with exhibitors following their visit. Industry associations from Yuyao, Ninghai, Zhenhai, Fenghua, and other regions have organized large-scale delegation tours, providing exhibitors with a strategic gateway to engage directly with key decision-makers in the Yangtze River Delta’s core procurement networks.
- The exhibition has established a one-stop commercial platform covering the entire printing and packaging value chain.Exhibits are organized into three main thematic zones: corrugated and color box manufacturing equipment and consumables; printing machinery and supplies; and packaging machinery along with ancillary plant equipment. From pre-press design and printing production to post-press finishing and intelligent warehousing, the event creates a fully integrated industrial ecosystem. Prominent exhibitors include Huizhou DeGang, Yutian Chengyuan, Yutian Juxing, Tangshan Jiayi, Hebei Jixing, Zhejiang Dayuan, Zhejiang Huilong, Ruian Jialite, Ruian Chaonuo, Wenzhou Chuangda, Wenzhou Gude, Wenzhou Liyue, Wenzhou Deko, Zhejiang Guowei, Ruian Dapeng, Ruian Yexin, Wenzhou Haolong, and many other well-known domestic printing enterprises.
- The exhibition aligns closely with three major industry trends—digital and intelligent transformation, green sustainability, and personalized customization—establishing a robust hub for deep integration among industry, academia, research, and application.At the 2025 show, digital printing and smart factory solutions took center stage, with numerous companies unveiling end-to-end digital transformation packages tailored specifically for the packaging printing sector, reflecting a broader shift from standalone equipment toward comprehensive, system-level solutions. Concurrently, the event hosted the “Printing and Packaging Industry Interconnectivity Summit” and the “New Technologies and Products Showcase for Intelligent Printing,” focusing on innovative areas such as green packaging materials, digital twin factories, and AI‑powered printing. From Nanjing Aihu Digital’s ATG digital printing machines and related solutions to Qingdao Aopai’s smart equipment, from Xinchenshun’s fully automated double‑sheet gluing machines to Anhui Gude’s high-speed paper laminating units, these groundbreaking products underscore the strength and dynamism of “Made in China.”
- Leveraging Ningbo’s advantageous position as a key industrial city within the Yangtze River Delta, the exhibition provides enterprises with a strategic pathway to expand into the East China market.With exhibits spanning printing machinery and consumables, corrugated and color box manufacturing equipment and supplies, packaging machinery and related devices, digital printing technologies, post-press finishing systems, and plastic packaging equipment, the show covers the entire industry value chain. It actively invites professional users of packaging and printing from across China, particularly those based in the Yangtze River Delta, while offering the most comprehensive, attentive, and competitive services and support available.
- For Chinese enterprises, this exhibition serves as a strategic gateway to penetrate the East China market, connect with international resources, and showcase their innovative capabilities.Rooted in Ningbo yet extending its reach throughout the Yangtze River Delta and beyond, the show stands as the preferred platform for both domestic and international printing and packaging companies seeking entry into the East China market. Exhibitors can use this venue to access core procurement networks in the Yangtze River Delta, seizing early opportunities in the industry’s ongoing transformation toward intelligence, sustainability, and digitalization.
