Sponsored by, among others, Epson, Emersya, Fabeon, Caldera, Monti Antonio, TTS & Zund this feature promises to bring digital textile printing to the forefront of the Expo.
Automation, personalization, printing, finishing: visitors can follow the different stages of a product's manufacturing process live and benefit from expert advice to choose the technologies that will allow them to optimize their development projects.
The Countdown To C!Print 2024 Has Begun! In Less Than Two Weeks, The C!Print And The CTCO Joint Trade Show For Visual Communication, Graphic Design And Corporate Gifts Will Take Place In Lyon From 6-8th February.
Back in 2022, the C!Print inaugurated a new space, in the middle of the 260 different exhibitor booths, to support the digital transformation of the graphic design industry.
The space enables visitors to find out more about technologies for product personalization, web-to-print and how to automate workflows, both thanks to the expertise of the exhibitors as well as through the various conferences, panel sessions and workshops organized by the C!Print.
Driven by the urgent need to address climate change and the growing pressure from a more eco-conscious public aware of the textile industry’s impact on the planet, major manufacturing activities are being relocated to the EMEA region.
This growing trend is prompting manufacturers to modernize their workshops to improve both profitability and sustainability.
In order to address these new industry challenges, C!Print is launching its own C!Factory for the 2024 trade show!
With the help of C!Print partner Fabéon, C!Print will recreate a complete production line, onsite, in the middle of the expo hall!
This new space will take visitors on an immersive journey through the different stages of production, from printing a custom design to the cutting and sewing of a custom garment.
With Paris holding the Summer Olympics, 2024 will be an important year for France, especially for those working in the visual communications industry.
Inspired by the upcoming games and paying homage to the local basketball team, C!Print chose to create a mini factory for producing personalized basketball jerseys!
Textiles In The Spotlight In 2024
Since its creation, C!Print has supported the development of digital textile printing and decorating.
Sublimation, transfer, direct printing, DTG, DTF are all innovations that were presented at the show and that are now energizing the production workshops of professionals in the event, communication, fashion and decoration sectors.
For its first edition, the C!Factory has chosen to surf on this heritage and create a basketball jersey manufacturing unit.
It was also an opportunity to celebrate the Olympic Games in Paris, in a city where basketball is king, on a theme shared for the first time by all the show's entertainment areas, including the C!Wrap (installation competition) and the Plug&Play (customization workshop).
A State-Of-The-Art, 100% Automated Workshop
Reinforced by the climate emergency and the growing pressure of a public opinion aware of the impacts of the textile industry on the planet, the trend towards the relocation of major manufacturing activities to the EMEA region is confirmed, pushing manufacturers to modernize their workshops to gain in profitability but also in sustainability.
On the C!Factory, professionals will discover an ultra-modern and 100% automated workshop, designed to meet these new challenges of on-demand production, without compromising on quality.
The C!Print trade fair, with its C!Factory, intends to make its contribution by supporting the industrial transformation of the graphic industries.
A dedicated series of conferences, in the presence of experts and industrialists, will provide an opportunity to deepen all these subjects.
