What a plastics and rubber website should show
Buyers in plastics and rubber check material properties, data sheets and compliance papers on a company website before they plan visits, and again when they compare suppliers after the fair.
Page per material grade
Give each material grade or compound its own page with data sheet downloads, so engineers can check melt flow, hardness or temperature range before they visit your stand.
Test on weak mobile signal
Test your site on a phone over a weak connection, because processors will open data sheets and certificates while standing in a crowded hall.
Translate key technical pages
Offer key pages in the languages of your buyers, such as German or Italian, especially for technical data sheets and food-contact or medical compliance statements.
QR code and fast follow-up
Put a QR code on your stand that opens a fair page with sample requests, then scan each business card and follow up with the right data sheet within days.
