Attendees will also have access to WrapTalks sessions at WrapFest and conference programmes covering printing, signage, personalisation and textile at the other FESPA 2026 events.

Nick Kirby, Non-Executive Director at Zeus Packaging and FESPA Corrugated Ambassador, said: “The corrugated industry is more advanced than ever before. That’s why this year is the perfect time for FESPA to have launched its inaugural Corrugated event.

“I look forward to seeing an array of diverse solutions at the show – from next-generation digital print and converting systems to low-impact materials that help packaging manufacturers, converters and brands to address their challenges. Corrugated really is set to be ‘The Place For Experts’.”
