Visitors’ comments
“My company is an undergarment manufacturer in India and we do all kinds of t-shirts. We are here to source for new technologies, machines and automation. Our focus is mainly on new types of chemicals, sustainable ink and processes. The exhibitor quality here at DS Printech China is excellent. I managed to source for many less hazardous chemicals at the fair and intend to place orders. I will definitely return again next year.”
