I've seen a few mention this show but how relevant is it to just blanks for subli printing etc? I go to it but it's specifically related to one of the industries I work in and only from a point of view of seeing what my competitors are upto. Do people go to add on different products beyond what they print themselves as trade print is mainly what the show is about?

Yeah I saw that Laura ................. have you had the 'free' lunch before? Forget about the promotional stuff for a minute - let's talk food. Is there 'scope' for taking a bag and sticking small eats in it for later? (come on, we've all done it .............. haven't we?)

lol

To be honest - i'm not sure what stands are there, but from what I've seen online it looks pretty busy - plus the main reason is that I have been telling myself that I need to visit one and have yet to do so.

Many of the exhibitors at the Trade Only Show are also at the Printwear Show. As the venue is some way from us, we'll be going to the Printwear Show simply because it's a bigger event.

Is that the one in Birmingham John, 26th - 28th Feb?

If so, as someone that's never been to one would you reccomend me going to this one rather than the one in January??

you get a sandwhich a drink and a choccie bar, as stitch up says its not as big as p&p, and is more for people who sell mass produced pre printed items (hence trade only)

I'm just trying to work out how much in petrol I would spend and hown many sandwiches and choggie bars I'll need to eat/pocket before I break even
