Fespa has announced a major expansion of its global event portfolio with the launch of two
new shows, Fespa Corrugated and Fespa Textile, both debuting at Fespa 2026, scheduled
for 19–22 May 2026 in Barcelona.
Fespa Corrugated is being introduced as a joint venture between Fespa and Brunton
Publications, a recognised specialist in the packaging sector. The new event will serve as a
focused platform for the corrugated packaging and display industry, bringing together
producers of corrugated cardboard packaging with suppliers of materials, machinery,
workflow software, inks and next-generation technologies. It aims to meet the growing
demand for innovation and automation in the corrugated segment.
Complementing this, Fespa Textile leverages Fespa’s longstanding authority in screen and
digital garment printing. The event will spotlight the rapidly evolving technologies, substrates
and processes shaping the future of textile and apparel production, from digital textile
printing and dye-sublimation to sustainable materials and workflow advancements.
Both new launches will run alongside the flagship Fespa Global Print Expo 2026, forming a
mega-event comprising five co-located shows: Fespa Global Print Expo, European Sign
Expo, Personalisation Experience, Corrugated and Textile.
Neil Felton, CEO, Fespa, comments: “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. In Barcelona, Fespa 2026 will be bigger, stronger and
even more diverse, further solidifying Fespa as the leading global event and knowledgesharing
platform for all aspects of specialty print.”
This expanded format ensures that visitors and exhibitors gain access to a comprehensive
view of the specialty print ecosystem under one roof, from signage, graphics and wideformat
to textile, packaging and personalisation.
The launch of Corrugated and Textile aligns with Fespa Future, the organisation’s forwardlooking
strategy focused on driving growth, fostering innovation and supporting emerging
verticals within the speciality print community. With these additions, Fespa reinforces its
commitment to delivering richer educational opportunities, deeper industry insights and
greater value for businesses navigating the next era of print.
