Apparel Sourcing Show 2026

Apparel Sourcing show

The Apparel Sourcing Show (APSS) is Central America’s only trade show dedicated entirely to the apparel and textile industry, bringing together manufacturers, suppliers, and buyers from across the DR-CAFTA region. Now in its 32nd edition, APSS returns August 18–20, 2026, to the Tikal Futura Hotel & Convention Center in Guatemala City. Datacolor will be there inside the Colormax Systems booth at Stand No. 21, showcasing the color measurement and quality control solutions that help manufacturers achieve consistent, right-first-time color across the value chain. As international brands and buyers push suppliers toward faster approvals and fewer costly lab dips, getting color right the first time has become a real competitive advantage across the region’s supply chain.

  • Reduce rework and lab dips
  • Speed up color approvals between brands and mills
