Diversified solutions provider Graphtec GB has become one of the latest companies to sign up for the debut edition of The Sign Show in 2025, hailing the new event as being “uniquely placed” to address the changing demands of sign companies.
Taking place for the first time from 23-25 September, The Sign Show 2025 will be co-located with The Print Show in Hall 3 of the NEC in Birmingham. The event will serve as a dedicated meeting point for the UK sign industry, allowing visitors to explore the latest developments in the market and experience the art of sign-making in person.
The Sign Show has already drawn interest from manufacturers and suppliers across the sign sector, with Graphtec GB just one of several companies that has already signed up to exhibit.
Operating off one of the larger stands at the show, Graphtec GB will be showcasing a range of solutions, including specialist equipment machines and WID lasers. Also on display will be print technology from Mutoh, with Graphtec GB having recently become a distributor for the manufacturer.
Tom Kneale (pictured), director at Graphtec GB, said The Sign Show’s positioning alongside The Print Show is a “perfect match” for the company, presenting it with the opportunity to connect with customers across both the print and signage markets.
“The Sign Show is uniquely placed,” Kneale said. “Sitting alongside The Print Show, it allows us to not only present our latest Graphtec cutters, but also WID lasers and the latest printers from Mutoh
“As a new distributor for Mutoh products, we really need a shop window to showcase the Mutoh products. Having The Sign Show in September removes the event from the usual cluster of trade shows traditionally happening in the spring.”Kneale also said that with the increasing amount of crossover between the print and sign industries, a co-located event is ideal for those companies with interest in both sectors.
“The sign industry and printing industries are rapidly coming together,” Kneale said. “For a company like Graphtec GB, our product range spans both print and sign, so it is a perfect match for us to demonstrate to a mixed audience what we are really all about.”
