Asia Ink Expo (AIE) 2026 will take place from October 15 to 17, 2026, at Guangzhou Aerotropolis Expo Center in Guangzhou, China. The fourth edition is a specialised international exhibition dedicated to printing inks, raw materials, production technologies and related services across the ink industry. Held under the theme “Green Ink, Vibrant World,” the event reflects the sector’s transition toward higher-performance, intelligent and more sustainable materials and manufacturing processes. It brings together ink manufacturers, material suppliers, distributors, technology providers, research institutions and industrial users from China and international markets.
The exhibition is organised around dedicated areas for inks, raw materials, machinery and equipment, and technology and services. Product coverage extends across printing-ink formulations, pigments, resins, additives, solvents and other chemical inputs, alongside mixing, dispersing, grinding, filling, testing and production equipment. The event is particularly relevant to companies serving packaging, commercial printing, labels and other applications where ink performance, colour consistency, production efficiency and environmental requirements directly affect finished products.
AIE 2026 combines product sourcing with thematic forums, business matchmaking, live technology demonstrations and industry opportunity releases. The programme is designed to connect manufacturers and suppliers with distributors, professional buyers, end users and R&D organisations while examining developments in greener formulations, advanced materials, intelligent production and changing application requirements. Organised by the Asia Coatings and Ink Federation and Guangdong Grandeur International Exhibition Group, the event provides a focused platform for technical exchange and commercial development across the Asian printing-ink supply chain.
