Let’s be honest—trade shows are unpredictable. And CBTC 2025, one of the largest and most forward-thinking construction technology events in Asia, was no exception.
While helping one of our regular clients set up at the Shanghai New International Expo Centre, I took a stroll through the other halls. It’s part of my routine—I like to see who’s exhibiting, especially international teams, because let’s face it: if you’ve traveled halfway around the world with a suitcase full of booth dreams, you deserve backup when something goes wrong.
That’s exactly what happened to two exhibitors I noticed standing around their empty 3x3 meter booth. No backdrop. No flyers. No roll-up banner. Just a pair of stressed faces and a battered shipping box that clearly didn’t survive international freight.
So I stopped and asked, “Hey—need help?”
After a short conversation, I learned that most of their printed materials had been damaged in transit and they had no local vendor contact. Lucky for them, they had just found one.
I introduced myself, explained what Call2Print does, and offered a solution. It was already 2:30 PM, but with quick file transfers, live proof checks (thank you, laptop), and a lot of hustle from our production team, we were able to:
- Print and deliver a new roller banner
- Reproduce their company brochures and A4 product sheets
- Customize booth signage and logos
- Deliver everything to their hotel by 9:30 PM
By the next morning, their booth looked professional, polished, and ready to impress.
