FESPA has today announced that its flagship annual FESPA Global Print Expo and European Sign Expo events will return to Messe Berlin, Germany, from Tuesday 6 – Friday 9 May 2025, covering screen, digital and textile printing, signage and visual communications. Confirmed features include Personalise Make Wear, World Wrap Masters, Club FESPA and the return of the bi-annual FESPA Awards.
Michael Ryan, Head of FESPA Global Print Expo, comments, “Following three successful events in the city and positive feedback on the venue from all participants, we are pleased to be returning to Berlin in 2025. We’re looking forward to welcoming exhibitors – as well as visitors – to Messe Berlin next May for an event that I am confident will help printers and signmakers uncover new technologies and solutions to expand their business and unleash their full potential.”
FESPA has previously hosted three events in Berlin, in 2007, 2018 and – more recently – 2022. Feedback following FESPA 2022 reaffirmed that Messe Berlin is a popular venue for both exhibitors and visitors alike. The city offers a continental air and traffic hub, and is easily accessible from all major European and international cities. The newest airport – Berlin Brandenburg – is located just 30 minutes from the Messe Berlin and offers flights to European metropolitan and leisure locations as well as a number of intercontinental destinations.
Further details on FESPA 2025 will be available after FESPA Global Print Expo, European Sign Expo, Personalisation Experience and Sportswear Pro 2024 (19 – 22 March 2024, RAI Amsterdam, The Netherlands).

The importance of ink for large format printers
Ink is crucial for large format inkjet printers, influencing substrate compatibility, productivity, and cost. Nessan Cleary discusses the three main types which include UV-curable ink, latex ink and eco-solvent ink. Each ink type has specific strengths and weaknesses, making printers choice dependent on budget and intended applications.
What are the benefits of Direct-To-Fabric printing?
Direct-to-fabric printing is gaining popularity for high-volume textile production, enabling on-demand, customized short runs. These printers offer ink flexibility, accommodating various fabric types like cotton and silk, though ink development focuses on faster turnaround by reducing pre- and post-processing. Compared to traditional methods, direct-to-fabric inkjet printing is a more sustainable option due to reduced water and chemical usage, and localized production.
What are the opportunities for large format providers regarding digital touch screens?
Digital touchscreens are becoming increasingly common, offering businesses opportunities to improve customer engagement and streamline operations. Nessan Cleary shares, while more expensive to implement than standard digital displays due to complex software and integration needs, touchscreens provide self-service options, multilingual support, and can reduce staffing costs in various settings like retail, transportation, and healthcare.
