The Print Show and The Sign Show 2026 welcomed 5,567 visitors, with attendance up 12 percent and machinery sales topping £1m. Organisers of The Print Show and The Sign Show are delighted to announce a year-on-year increase in attendance for this year’s edition of the co-located events, with the final attendee figure reaching 5,567. The two events took place alongside each other from 29 September to 1 October in Hall 1 of the NEC in Birmingham. Anticipation was high for not only the tenth anniversary edition of The Print Show, but also the second instalment of The Sign Show.
The overall attendance figure represents a 4 percent increase on last year’s total of 5,336. However, organisers highlighted that the 2025 show included around 350 visitors from the PPMA Show, driven by a partnership between the two events. After excluding “crossover” visitors, attendance was 12% higher year-on-year. HP, Epson, Roland DG, Agfa, Hybrid Services (Mimaki), swissQprint, Konica Minolta, Vivid Laminating Technologies, CMYUK, Plockmatic Group and Soyang Group were just some of the companies exhibiting this year across the two events. CMYUK took the largest stand in the show’s history, allowing it to showcase a range of leading kit, including the exciting EFI VUTEk M3h 3.2m wide UV LED hybrid printer.
Alongside an increase in attendance numbers, organisers have also confirmed that a whole host of technology sales were completed in the hall across the three days. Early indications show that more than £1m worth of business was conducted at the two events.
