Global Sources Mobile Electronics Fair at AsiaWorld-Expo, Hong Kong takes place from October 18 to 21, 2026 on the show floor at Booth 6P30. Whether you are buying soft screen protectors as a wholesale business or to sell under your own brand name, it’s so much easier to see for yourself what you are buying than to read from a folder of detailed product specifications. The range includes the latest releases of soft screen protectors for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max and the full range of other soft films that we sell. We shall also have the THORX applicators on show and can offer OEM and ODM programs.
YCYMO have been attending the Hong Kong Global Sources Fair since 2019 and have also attended CES in 2023, 2024 and 2025. Our Screen protection product range has been on show since 2013. The factory behind the booth now operates from over 7,000 square meters of manufacturing space.
Why Buyers Judge Soft Film in Person
Soft film is evaluated by hand. How well does the film release from the liner? How does it behave when draping over a curved surface? What does it feel like against your thumb? All of these attributes are easily assessed in a few seconds sitting at a table. These attributes are difficult to judge from a datasheet alone.
You can bring the devices you actually sell to Booth 6P30 and compare them side by side. You can see the thickness, edge treatment, coating and finish of the actual product versus the sample you were shown. For a distributor, this is the difference between adding a SKU and not ordering a product.
A private-label idea that looks good on screen can feel terrible in your hands. Verify that a finish looks good in the booth before you spend tooling money.
The Soft Screen Protector Range at Booth 6P30
Our main line of soft film, together with our applicators, is very flexible, self-heals minor scratches and is designed for bubble-free application with the applicator. We offer five finishes: HD clear, privacy, matte, blue light blocking and AR HD. All of these finishes are available for the new iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max models, hence they will have their own corner of the booth.
For an untouched display look, we ship HD clear as default. For privacy or matte covers, we have alternative options for you. The AR HD display now sports a triple layer of anti-reflective coatings with 94% light transmittance, and its comfort layer is measured at up to 47% less eye fatigue.
The flexible glass option is a hardened PET composite made with an imported base film. So, although made with a polymer, it has a hard and clear surface. In stores, flexible glass packaging and soft film packaging can be merchandised at different price points yet still be rolled out using the same store fixtures.
A Lighter Footprint: Eco-Friendly Applicators and Packaging
The new 2026 version features a new eco-friendly applicator which will be the main product YCYMO will be promoting this year. The frame is made of molded pulp as opposed to plastic, yet still retains the same one pull mechanism as before, thereby allowing stores and brands alike to offer a reduced-plastic version, without having to retrain staff or change the way it is installed.
Packaging is going in the same direction. We can supply paper cards, recycled board or plastic-free inserts for each program. Many brands are selling into countries with ever-tightening packaging rules.
The THORX Applicator Line
There are three models of THORX screen protector applicators on the table: the X1 model applies the film in one pull through a dust-free chamber; the X2 model includes a self-cleaning mechanism and perfect-align frame; the X3 model incorporates the dust protection into the housing of the applicator and therefore the film is cleaned as it is seated.
These solutions can be customized with a company logo and colors, which is typically where private-label work begins. For repair stores and retail chains, the key value to them is that they look the same whether their technicians have 10 years of experience or 10 days of experience.
Beyond Soft Film: Lens Protectors and Other Devices
We do more than just soft films. We also show our L01 to L04 camera lens protectors. Our L01 camera lens protector uses real AR glass. It has 95% light transmittance and 1.2% reflection. In scratch testing, the AR glass is designed to provide strong scratch resistance, with 200,000-plus scratch cycles completed without damage. As the lens bumps on current handsets are larger and more exposed, camera protection is now more important than ever before.
Join us as we showcase our protectors for iPad, smartwatch, and handheld gaming, as well as our iPhone 18 series protectors. We will also have our THORX tool on hand to seat each film as opposed to using your fingers. We are one supplier with one set of specs that can be shipped in one package as opposed to three separate vendors with three separate lead times.
From Booth Sample to Factory Order
Often a conversation at the booth can lead to an immediate sample being sent out as a YCYMO proofing which will have a 72 hour turn around in time to fit with show dates. All aspects of the sample can be discussed and confirmed in person with material, thickness, edge finish, color, logo etc and packaging all discussed at the meeting to avoid lots of subsequent emails.
The factory behind the booth runs more than 70 automated machines at a combined output near 4.5 million units a month, or roughly 150,000 a day. The device database holds over 10,000 model entries, which is how a specific frame gets quoted rather than guessed. The products are tested by SGS for applicable RoHS compliance and ship to more than 100 countries and regions.
For volume buyers the Minimum Order Quantity or MOQ is usually easy to quote. For Stock items it is typically around 100 pieces per model number. For Films and for Tooling it is typically around 1,000 pieces per model number. The minimum order quantity is confirmed after we have established the material, gauge and finish.

Conclusion
Global Sources 2026 is one of the rare exhibitions where the soft film ranges, the THORX applicators, the lens protectors and the OEM program can all be compared within a 30 minute time frame. We recommend visitors weighing up soft screen protector finishes against tempered glass and even want to test out a private-label concept to come to Booth 6P30.
Come see the line and we can continue to discuss this in the factory.
FAQ
Q: What soft screen protector finishes will YCYMO show at Global Sources 2026?
Five finishes are on the booth table: HD clear, privacy, matte, blue light, and AR HD. The AR HD soft film carries a triple anti-reflective layer with 94% light transmittance. Samples of each can be handled at Booth 6P30, AsiaWorld-Expo, from October 18 to 21, 2026.
Q: Can I compare iPhone 18 Pro soft film and tempered glass at the booth?
Yes. We have both lines available for iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. Tempered glass is available in 0.25mm, 0.33mm and 0.5mm thickness with 9H pencil hardness. The soft film range is also available on the same devices, so you can easily compare both lines and see which one fits your market.
Q: What is the MOQ for a custom soft film order?
Typical minimums for a standard stock item would be around 100 units of that product. Minimums for custom films and tooling would start at around 1,000 units per model. This minimum would depend upon material, thickness, finish and packaging and will be advised with the sample.
Q: Does YCYMO offer eco-friendly or biodegradable packaging?
Yes. Our focus for 2026 in the booth is the eco-friendly applicator with a molded pulp frame and it still has one-pull install. We can also offer paper cards, recycled board or plastic-free inserts for each program.
