Tarsus Group, the organizer of Labelexpo Asia, has announced that the show, due to take place June 28 – 1 July 1, 2022, will be postponed until December 7-10, 2022.

As a re- sult of this change Labelexpo South China 2022, due to take place December 7-9, 2022 in Shenzhen World, will be postponed with dates to be con- firmed shortly.
