FESPA expands event portfolio with two new brand launches

FESPA is growing its event portfolio with two new launches – Corrugated and Textile – both of which will debut at the 2026 event from 19 to 22 May 2026 in Barcelona.

Corrugated will provide a dedicated platform for manufacturers of corrugated cardboard packaging and display solutions to meet suppliers of materials, machinery, workflow software and other technologies.

The new Textile event builds on FESPA’s long heritage in screen and digital garment printing, spotlighting the technologies and materials shaping textile and garment production.

The events will take place alongside the flagship Global Print Expo 2026, creating a mega event that brings together five co-located events under one roof: Global Print Expo, European Sign Expo, Personalisation Experience, Corrugated and Textile.

The new event launches bring to life the organisation’s strategy, FESPA Future, which highlights how it is investing to stimulate business growth for its evolving communities. The expanded event line up demonstrates its active commitment to serving diverse vertical markets across the speciality print sector, offering platforms for knowledge sharing and education, and creating more value for visitors and exhibitors.

Neil Felton, CEO, 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 are 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 it as the leading global event and knowledge sharing platform for all aspects of specialty print.’
