Paperworld China 2021 will be integrated into its 2022 edition which will take place from 12 – 14 May, due to the evolving pandemic situation in China in recent months. The integration of the two editions is to ensure a safe trade fair and to align with the local government’s prevention and control measures. The move will also allow participants to channel their resources more effectively.
Originally scheduled from 15 – 17 October 2021 at the National Exhibition and Convention Center (Shanghai), this year’s edition will merge with the 2022 show at the same venue. Commenting on the change, Mr Richard Li, General Manager, Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd said: “As a professional trade fair organiser, providing a safe trade fair for show participants and staff has always been our primary concern. In view of the evolving pandemic situation, and to align with the anti-pandemic measures of the city where the trade fair is held, we have made this decision after intensive consultations with key industry stakeholders.”
Ms Xiaoli Yi, Chairman of the China Stationery and Sporting Goods Association added: “On a positive note, this step will allow exhibitors and visitors to channel their budgets and resources towards May next year, which is expected to deliver even greater business value for the industry. May is the ideal time to source products before the school summer holiday begins. We look forward to welcoming all of our industry friends back in 2022, and to see the latest stationery items for the new school calendar year.”
As a leading trade fair for stationery, office supplies, hobby, art and craft supplies in Asia, Paperworld China attracts a large contingent of first-tier Chinese brands to showcase their latest products and innovations at the show. Parallel to vast business opportunities, the show is also well-known for its wide variety of fringe events where participants are able to keep abreast of industry trends and the latest national safety standards for student supplies. Another show highlight is the BSOC Awards, which acknowledge originality and creativity of products produced by outstanding Chinese manufacturers.
Organised by the China Stationery and Sporting Goods Association (CSSGA) and Messe Frankfurt (Shanghai) Co Ltd, Paperworld China is the only trade fair in the domestic stationery industry that receives official support from the CSSGA, an influential national industry association in China.
