The first China (Ruian) International Printing and Packaging Industry Expo opens on March 17
From March 17 to 19, the inaugural China (Ruian) International Printing and Packaging Industry Exhibition will be held at the Ruian Convention and Exhibition Center. As the first professional exhibition in Ruian's industrial sector in the Year of the Horse, this exhibition leverages the advantages of the local industrial base and innovatively introduces the "Exhibition First, Factory Later" model, allowing domestic and international clients to connect directly with the source manufacturers of printing and packaging equipment, and to immerse themselves in the full industry chain development strength of Ruian.
The exhibition covers an area of 20,000 square meters, with exhibits including the full range of printing machinery, packaging machinery, intelligent equipment, core components, and supporting materials. It gathers leading local enterprises from Ruian, high-quality companies from the Yangtze River Delta, and internationally renowned brands to showcase their products. Concurrently, the exhibition will host the 2026 Ruian Printing and Packaging Summit Forum, one-on-one precise matchmaking meetings for global buyers, and a series of other events, creating an efficient industry chain platform that integrates business negotiation, technical exchange, resource integration, and brand promotion, injecting new momentum into industry development.

Rui'an is one of China's three major production bases for printing and packaging machinery. After years of cultivation and development, it has established a complete industrial chain covering pre-printing, in-printing, and post-printing processes, with a high degree of industrial agglomeration, strong supporting capabilities, and broad market coverage. At present, our city has gathered a number of leading enterprises in the industry, such as Zhejiang Zhengbo Intelligent Machinery Co., Ltd., Zhejiang Zhengwei Machinery Co., Ltd., and Zhejiang Chaowei Machinery Co., Ltd., and has also cultivated numerous 'hidden champions' in niche areas. Among them, Zhejiang Huayue Packaging Machinery Co., Ltd.'s intelligent paper-cutting machine holds over 25% of the global market share, and Zhejiang Mingrui Intelligent Equipment Technology Co., Ltd.'s vacuum packaging machines account for nearly 18% of the domestic niche market, continuously enhancing the reputation of 'Made in Rui'an' with excellent quality and technological innovation.
It is reported that, unlike traditional exhibitions with the model of 'only exhibiting without visiting, only viewing without inspecting,' this exhibition, leveraging Rui'an's strong industrial cluster advantages, has carefully created a one-stop procurement service of 'visit the exhibition first, inspect the factories later.' At the exhibition site, buyers can closely observe cutting-edge equipment, new technologies, and eco-friendly solutions brought by nearly a hundred enterprises, and communicate face-to-face with enterprise leaders and technical experts to discuss needs and cooperation. After the exhibition, they can directly visit nearby production enterprises for on-site inspections to gain a clear understanding of the production processes, R&D capabilities, intelligent manufacturing levels, and quality control systems, truly achieving the simultaneous assessment of samples, production capacity, and quality, thereby promoting direct sourcing, efficient connections, and cost reduction with increased efficiency.

'The 'Exhibition First, Factory Later' model not only leverages the platform's role in centralized exhibition and efficient traffic attraction, but also amplifies Rui'an industry's unique advantages of nearby support and on-site factory inspection. It effectively shortens the procurement chain and improves docking efficiency, which is of great significance for enterprises to expand their markets and seize orders,' said a relevant official from the Rui'an Council for the Promotion of Trade. This exhibition is a concentrated display of the comprehensive strength of Rui'an's printing and packaging industry, as well as an important platform to integrate industry resources and facilitate smooth supply-demand connections. The exhibition will further break the current situation where even good products go unnoticed, showcase the technical advantages and manufacturing capabilities of Rui'an's printing and packaging equipment to the world, build a mutually beneficial cooperation bridge for domestic and foreign clients, continuously enhance the influence and competitiveness of Rui'an's printing and packaging industry, and help the industry advance toward higher-quality development that is more high-end, intelligent, and green.
