It’s no secret the decorated-apparel industry has been on a roll of late. It should therefore come as no surprise that the 2025 Impressions Expo Long Beach decorated-apparel trade show, set to take place Jan. 23-25, 2025, is looking to be the biggest event yet.
At press time, an incredible 287 exhibitors had already reserved 121,160-square-feet of floor space, compared to 110,000-square-feet booked for Impressions’ Long Beach show in 2024. The new record surpasses the old one set all the way back in the 1980s.
Impressions Expo Registration Looking Strong
Attendee registration is also tracking at record numbers, promising crowds as big as the show itself.
“We’ve been thrilled with the response so far to the upcoming Long Beach Impressions Expo, and we think attendees and exhibitors will be thrilled with the 2025 expo as well,” said show director, Kayla McGarry.
As always, the Impression’s flagship expo will feature a who’s who of some of the industry’s biggest names: examples include the heat-press and custom heat-transfer companies STAHLS’, Ninja Transfers and 613 Originals; decorating equipment titans ROQ, M&R, Hirsch, Ricoma and Brother; apparel stalwarts Gildan, Lane Seven, LAT and Flexfit; and much, much more.

As is in years past, there will also be a wealth of networking and educational opportunities, including happy hours, exhibitor-sponsored social events, panel discussions on the Ink Kitchen’s Shop Talk and, of course, the Impressions professional education conference series, which begins a day earlier, on Jan. 22.
