The 21st Shanghai International Tape and Film Expo (APFE2025)

— The Pioneer of Global Adhesive Tape and Film Professional Exhibitions (Founded in 2007)

— A Global Industry Barometer for Adhesive New Materials and Functional Films

"The 21st Shanghai International Tape & Film Expo" and "The 21st Shanghai International Coating & Die-Cutting Expo" for short 「APFE」,

will take place at the National Exhibition and Convention Center in Shanghai from June 17 to 19, 2025. This edition of the exhibition is planned to cover 53,000 square meters, accommodating 2,600 international standard booths and attracting over 900 leading domestic and international brands. The grand scale and international influence of the event will further cement its status as the premier global exhibition for adhesive tape and film brands.

Initiated by Shanghai Fuya Exhibition Co., Ltd. in 2007, APFE has witnessed the vigorous development of the industry over 18 years. Through continuous innovation and leadership, it has established itself as a major international platform for the material application and technical processing markets.

Rooted in Shanghai and looking globally, APFE continues to lead the adhesive tape and film industry into a bright new future!

APFE consists of three major sectors:

• Adhesive New Materials: Adhesive tapes, protective films, sticky labels, and release materials.
• Functional Films: Functional protective films, optical films, car wrap films, new energy films, glass films, films for home appliances/electronics, and packaging films.
• Coated Functional Materials: Foaming materials, metal foils, paper, fabrics/non-woven fabrics/mesh, as well as roll/die-cut materials for shielding/thermal conduction, insulation/conductivity, waterproofing/sealing, shock absorption/cushioning.

With a robust scale of 53,000 square meters across two major halls (5.1H, 6.1H), the expo will gather over 900 domestic and international brand exhibitors. It offers a one-stop platform for a wide range of adhesive new materials, functional films, coated functional materials, and related manufacturing and processing technologies. Over 39,500 professional buyers, including application industry stakeholders, die-cut processors, and distributors/agents from around the world, are expected to attend, making this a key event for business and technical exchanges.
