What to expect at APPPEXPO 2014 based on what we experienced at APPPEXPO 2013 We recently attended a nice ternational prter and signage trade show. But there were, at most, only three brands of textile prters. At APPPEXPO the remarkable cosmopolitan city of Shanghai, you can expect up to 10 calenderg maches, 24 textile k companies, 42 textile prter brands. 2 Yet at a giant signage expo Guangzhou, there were less than three brands of textile prters (another Guangzhou expo had over a dozen brands, but the pot is simple: if you want to see many different brands of textile prters for SIGNAGE and for terior room decoration, APPPEXPO Shanghai is a good choice). APPPEXPO 2013 had as many brands of calendarg maches as TWO other expos Cha put together. Plus APPPEXPO Shanghai had 19 textile fabric and transfer paper companies. Now you can see why FLAAR Reports fds the APPPEXPO a defite must visit prter trade show. We at FLAAR have evaluated textile prters, textile ks, and textile sublimation systems for many years. Plus we also study hand-made (hand-woven) Maya fabrics Guatemala. Indeed addition to researchg modern textile ks, we also do research on the natural plant dyes used to color fabrics of the Maya and Aztec 2000 years ago. For soft signage wide-format kjet prters, for prtg fabrics for terior décor (curtas, wall covergs, etc.), you can get a good general troduction by comg to Shanghai this July. For 2014, FLAAR will aga be present at the show. APPPEXPO is the largest signage prter expo Cha; it is also one of the largest expos the rest of the world. Sce it is a huge expo it can be confusg at times, so at FLAAR we have prepared a report to help guide you through the world of textile prters. We are issug two reports on textile prtg: one on wide-format prters for textiles and a second one on textile kjet ks. This photo essay preview has a photo essay showg the major wide-format textile prter brands expected to exhibit at this year s show. We used a as base the brands that exhibited last year at APPPEXPO, though this does not mean any way we can guarantee that this companies will be present at the show for 2014. But from six years experience attendg textile-related expos Cha, any time one brand disappears, another two brands appear to replace it.
