On May 19, 2026, the much-anticipated 21st Guangzhou International Textile, Garment Making, and Printing Industry Expo (ITCPE Guangzhou 2026) grandly opened at the Guangzhou Pazhou Poly World Trade Center Expo. With the theme "Connecting the World, Innovating the Future," the expo gathered over 1,000 high-quality exhibitors from around the world, attracting approximately 20,000 professional visitors on its first day.
GUANGZHOU SHINMAR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. made a stunning appearance at the expo with its newly developed DTG direct-to-garment digital printer. Leveraging advanced digital inkjet printing technology and on-site interactive solutions, the company quickly became a major highlight in the digital printing zone, drawing procurement professionals from many countries and regions including India, Bangladesh, Vietnam, Russia, and Brazil.
New DTG Printer Wins Hearts On-Site, Addressing the Pain Points of Agile Manufacturing
At the booth of GUANGZHOU SHINMAR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD., high-speed DTG printers were smoothly printing on cotton T-shirts and canvas fabrics. The vivid, detailed patterns drew continuous applause from the audience.
Compared with traditional screen printing, the DTG printer showcased by GUANGZHOU SHINMAR requires no complex plate-making process and can directly print high-resolution digital images onto finished garments. This technical feature perfectly meets the urgent global demand in the textile and garment industry for rapid sampling, personalized customization, and small-batch orders, significantly shortening production and delivery cycles.
"The global textile and apparel market has been changing rapidly in recent years, with agile quick response and personalized customization becoming necessities. In the past, garment factories relying on traditional screen printing could hardly turn a profit on orders of fewer than 100 pieces. Our DTG printer solves this pain point perfectly," said the technical director of GUANGZHOU SHINMAR at the expo. "The new model we are exhibiting this year features major optimizations in printing speed and color reproduction, as well as more intelligent operation, helping downstream garment enterprises truly achieve digital production."
Focus on Overseas Markets, Tapping into Belt and Road Opportunities
The international atmosphere at this year's ITCPE Guangzhou was notably strong, with professional buyers and sourcing agents from all over the world moving through the halls. The booth of GUANGZHOU SHINMAR remained crowded throughout, with business negotiations taking place in multiple languages.
"Our new DTG direct-to-garment printer can complete high-precision color and white ink layered printing on a single garment in under one minute, with a very low operational threshold. It is ideally suited for the rapidly growing print-on-demand and personalized customization brands in Europe, the Americas, and Southeast Asia," said the overseas sales manager of GUANGZHOU SHINMAR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. Leveraging the transportation and trade hub advantages of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, as well as the vast market opportunities presented by the Belt and Road Initiative, the company successfully entered the Southeast Asian and Central Asian markets in the first half of 2026, securing numerous intent orders.
During the expo, the GUANGZHOU SHINMAR team held in-depth discussions and technical Q&A sessions with buyers from India, Russia, and ASEAN countries. Many overseas buyers who were first exposed to DTG technology showed great interest in the equipment, and multiple procurement cooperation intentions were reached on the spot. Both sides agreed that DTG direct-to-garment printers, as an emerging green digital printing technology, not only significantly reduce water consumption and chemical use in the printing industry but also provide a sustainable solution for the transformation and upgrading of the global textile and garment industry.
Embracing Smart Innovation and the Wave of Intelligent Manufacturing
This year's ITCPE Guangzhou placed special focus on cutting-edge fields such as textile printing, intelligent sewing and embroidery, and green dyeing. GUANGZHOU SHINMAR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. aligned its participation with the trends of intelligent manufacturing and digital transformation. Its new DTG printer, combined with an intelligent control system, can be seamlessly integrated into various e-commerce platforms and customization systems, enabling a fully intelligent POD (Print-on-Demand) workflow: "Online Order – Smart Production – Fast Delivery."
The booth attracted numerous industry professionals and technical experts from textile and garment clusters. After the expo, representatives of GUANGZHOU SHINMAR proactively invited several overseas inspection groups to visit the factory for a closer look, further strengthening buyers' confidence in the company's product strength and after-sales service.
Looking ahead, GUANGZHOU SHINMAR SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD. will continue to increase its R&D investment in digital printing and automation technologies, striving to provide global garment suppliers and consumers with more efficient, greener, and smarter end-to-end solutions for textile printing.
