139th Canton Fair: AI, Creative Customisation, and Detail-Based Design Drive Innovation in Stationery and Office Products
Guangzhou, China, (ANTARA/PRNewswire) - In the exhibition area of the 139th Canton Fair featuring stationery and office products, participants presented a diverse array of items blending technology, creative customisation, and detail-based design. This trend reflects the shifting needs of global buyers towards smarter and more efficient office solutions.
Pens with AI-based translation features emerged as one of the standout products. In addition to combining intelligent processing with a natural handwriting experience, the device provides a paper-like writing sensation, facilitating direct note-taking and communication. Equipped with voiceprint recognition technology, it accurately identifies speakers to support more structured meeting documentation and multilingual interpretation. Thanks to the integrated AI model, the device enables instant responses, simultaneous translation, and automatic content summarisation.
Additionally, creative notebook designs drew significant attention, particularly through modular covers with raised dots allowing users to attach small accessories for personal expression. Another series features perforated surfaces that users can decorate themselves.
Detail-based innovations were also evident in the adhesive products category. One exhibitor introduced tape that can be easily torn without scissors or cutting tools. This design addresses the limitations of conventional tape and enhances practicality in packaging and daily office activities.
Another manufacturer presented silent tape designed for use in environments such as hospitals, post offices, and e-commerce logistics centres. This tape also employs a more environmentally friendly formula. Other products include printed tape using gravure printing technology with patented decorative displays, fulfilling premium customisation needs. These diverse adhesive solutions are widely used in logistics, gift packaging, office supplies, and industrial sealing, combining quiet performance with more aesthetic visual appeal.
In the writing instruments category, a company introduced medical-grade surgical markers for marking patients’ bodies before surgical procedures. This product has been exported to various international markets, demonstrating the manufacturer’s capabilities in specialised medical applications.
By developing products that meet everyday needs to professional applications, Chinese manufacturers are expanding the scope of the stationery category. Through these efforts, Chinese producers are addressing the continually evolving expectations of global buyers, leveraging the Canton Fair as a primary platform to access international markets.
