Istanbul, Türkiye – Marking its 31st edition, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul, ranked among the Eurasian region’s foremost trade platforms for the packaging sector, will again occupy the Tüyap Fair and Congress Center from 13 to 16 October 2026.
Reed Tüyap Fairs Inc. stages the exhibition in cooperation with industry bodies, including the Turkish Packaging Manufacturers Association (ASD), and it carries the support of the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Trade. Technology providers, packaging manufacturers, investors, buyers and sector professionals, from Türkiye as well as from markets abroad, will all be drawn together. Converting and printing, processing solutions, production technologies and packaging products will once more fall within the scope of this broad business platform.
A landmark 30th edition in 2025 drew 77,165 visitors from 141 countries, 14,017 of them international, and assembled over 1,200 exhibiting companies drawn from 40 countries; on that foundation, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul is now readying itself to extend its global reach and commercial impact in 2026.
The packaging industry’s strategic crossroads
Three decades of growth have turned Eurasia Packaging Istanbul into a recognised international marketplace, one that links suppliers with buyers across the Middle East, Europe, North Africa, the CIS region, Central Asia and territories further afield.
Positioned between major production and consumption markets, Türkiye reinforces the standing of Istanbul as a natural gathering point for cross-border commerce. Exhibiting companies can therefore use the fair to build fresh commercial relationships, investigate export markets, meet distributors and procurement specialists, and show their newest products and technologies to a worldwide audience.
A complete picture of the packaging value chain will again be set out in 2026, with offerings stretching from materials, packaging products and complementary solutions through to production technologies, packaging machinery, converting and printing systems, plus equipment for processing food and beverages.
Gathering these mutually supporting segments beneath one roof, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 lets visitors survey a broad span of technologies, weigh solutions side by side and judge what their production and investment plans demand, all within a single business setting.
Hosted buyers from overseas to lift B2B prospects
Engagement with overseas buyers stays a key priority at Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026. Selected purchasing specialists and decision-makers from significant international markets will be welcomed through its Hosted Buyer Program, with particular attention to firms carrying live investment, procurement and sourcing requirements.
Pre-arranged B2B meetings and face-to-face networking during the show give the programme its shape, the purpose being sharper business openings between exhibitors and qualified overseas buyers.
Matching suppliers to buyers who are actively hunting for packaging machinery, processing technologies and allied solutions, the programme sets out to foster fresh commercial partnerships, reinforce export prospects and lift the calibre of international business exchanges across the fair.
Novel ideas, technology and sustainability-driven answers
Packaging requirements keep shifting, and producers are placing greater and greater emphasis on efficiency, automation, material optimisation, sustainability and more intelligent production processes.
Exhibitors will find at Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 a stage from which to present technologies and solutions answering these shifted sector priorities. Awaiting discovery by visitors are advances in packaging design, machinery, automation, materials that are recyclable and resource-efficient, production technologies, and applications serving circular economy goals.
The trade event consequently delivers more than a sourcing venue: professionals also get the chance to track emerging technologies and assess solutions capable of lifting production performance and competitiveness.
Food processing technologies round out what is on show
Technologies for processing food and beverages will likewise form a significant part of the 2026 event.
Within one exhibition ecosystem, the Food-Tech Eurasia Special Section lets producers of food and drink examine technologies for processing, production and packaging.
