PRINTING United Expo 2021 Slated to Be the Global Print Event of the Year

15 June 2021: PRINTING United Expo is on track to be the global printing event in 2021. The first in-person industry event of significant magnitude since its inaugural 2019 Expo, the fall event which takes place at the Orange County Convention Center (OCCC) in Orlando, FL, USA on Oct. 6-8 is welcoming printing’s leading companies to display their newest technologies coming to market on-site. Registration for the event, which includes access to Expo Preview, Expo Live, and Expo Wrap-Up, is now live at printingunited.com.

Market segments across the industry are represented on the show floor at PRINTING United Expo 2021. Throughout the pandemic, companies have been forced to modify original plans for both technology coming to market and respective sales projections. PRINTING United Expo will be the launching point to refuel sales pipelines and new technology debuts in 2021 and beyond.

In addition to an unparalleled educational track addressing the most pressing industry issues and all-encompassing community receptions, the real draw to Expo Live is the volume of exhibitors and biggest names in the industry signing on to join the more than one-million-square-foot show floor. A sampling of these companies and segments include:

A café and beer garden are central to the area, which will be a gathering spot for business meetings, peer-to-peer engagement, and relaxing with friends and colleagues. Attendees can select from one of four designs to see and keep a custom T-shirt made on a screen or direct-to-garment (DTG) digital machine and will have a chance to win one of many spectacular prizes from the Apparel Zone sponsors.
