FESPA will introduce its inaugural Corrugated event from 19–22 May 2026 at the Fira de Barcelona, establishing a dedicated platform for corrugated packaging innovation. Organized as a joint venture with Brunton Publications, the event will run alongside FESPA Global Print Expo, Personalisation Experience, European Sign Expo, WrapFest, and the newly launched Textile exhibition. The new showcase reflects the rapid evolution of corrugated manufacturing, where digital print, automation, and sustainability are reshaping production strategies worldwide.

Occupying a dedicated 1,500-square-metre space in Hall 3, Corrugated will feature exhibitors spanning high-speed digital printing, precision converting, robotics, software integration, and sustainable substrate development. Confirmed participants include Bobst, Canon, HP, Koenig & Bauer, Kongsberg PCS, Scodix, Sun Automation Group, BW Papersystems Frankfurt, Hybrid Software Development, TCY Machinery, Wonderjet and others. Bobst serves as Overall Event sponsor, with Canon as Gold sponsor and Kongsberg Precision Cutting Systems as Bronze sponsor.

Visitors will gain access not only to the exhibition but also to a free conference programme at the Corrugated Theatre, addressing EU packaging legislation, AI applications, cyber security in box plants, and global trade dynamics. With a single ticket granting entry to all FESPA 2026 co-located events, the show is positioned to attract a broad international audience of converters, packaging manufacturers, and brand owners seeking scalable, future-ready corrugated solutions.
