Touchpoint Textile at drupa 2020 to underline rising significance of textile printing

Touchpoint Textile, a special show for digital textile printing applications, which is premiering at drupa 2020 in Hall 4, will underline the rising significance of textile printing. With the textile industry spawning technologies for numerous industries, Touchpoint Textile connects various sectors, offering them a platform for cross-industry collaboration, new projects, as well as product and manufacturing ideas that will be demonstrated on-site in a microfactory. The forum will reflect the rising significance of digital textile printing, underlining its importance as a driver of innovation and growth in new fields of business for the printing industry.

The special show is an indicator of how drupa is gaining ground in new markets, which apart from textile printing include packaging, large-format printing, industrial and functional printing. All of these segments are going through the same transformation processes, offering tremendous potential for growth. Touchpoint textile is backed by two main partners—German Institutes for Textile and Fibre Research (DITF) as Europe’s largest textile research centre, and the non-profit European Specialist Printing Manufacturers Association (ESMA).
