FESPA 2026 Expands with New Corrugated and Textile Events
FESPA introduces Corrugated and Textile events at its 2026 edition in Barcelona, expanding its global platform for specialty print innovation.
FESPA is set to enhance its global print ecosystem with two new launches — Corrugated and Textile — debuting at FESPA 2026 from 19–22 May 2026 in Barcelona. These additions strengthen FESPA’s commitment to fostering growth, innovation, and collaboration across diverse print and packaging sectors.
FESPA has announced the expansion of its global event portfolio with the launch of two specialized events — Corrugated and Textile — both set to premiere during FESPA 2026, scheduled from 19–22 May 2026 in Barcelona.
The Corrugated event, developed as a joint venture between FESPA and packaging industry specialist Brunton Publications, will serve as a focused platform for manufacturers of corrugated cardboard packaging and display products. It will connect these manufacturers with leading suppliers of raw materials, machinery, workflow software, and advanced production technologies.
Meanwhile, the Textile event will draw from FESPA’s rich legacy in screen and digital garment printing. This new addition will spotlight cutting-edge technologies, sustainable materials, and innovative processes shaping the future of textile and garment production.
Both events will run alongside FESPA’s flagship Global Print Expo 2026, forming an expansive, five-in-one mega event that unites FESPA Global Print Expo, European Sign Expo, Personalisation Experience, Corrugated, and Textile under one roof.
These new launches mark a significant step in FESPA’s ‘FESPA Future’ strategy, a forward-looking vision focused on stimulating growth across its evolving communities. By introducing dedicated platforms for knowledge-sharing, networking, and innovation, FESPA reaffirms its role as a leading catalyst for diversification in the specialty print sector.
Neil Felton, CEO of FESPA, commented:
“FESPA has a positive track record of identifying areas of growth potential for our community and providing an environment where they can discover and understand the possible impact on their own businesses. With the launch of Textile and Corrugated alongside our established print, signage and personalisation events, we’re creating a single destination where connected business communities can explore a multitude of opportunities.”
He further added,
“In Barcelona, FESPA 2026 will be bigger, stronger and even more diverse, further solidifying FESPA as the leading global event and knowledge-sharing platform for all aspects of specialty print.”
