Istanbul, Türkiye – Now in its 31st edition, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul returns to Tüyap Fair and Congress Center from 13 to 16 October 2026, established today as a leading meeting point for the packaging trade across the whole Eurasian geography.
Organised by Reed Tüyap Fairs Inc. in partnership with the Turkish Packaging Manufacturers Association (ASD) and other industry organisations, under the auspices of the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Trade, the fair will bring together packaging producers, suppliers of technology, buyers, investors and professionals coming from Türkiye and from overseas markets alike. Once again it will provide a wide commercial platform spanning packaging products, manufacturing technologies, processing solutions and the printing and converting field.
In 2025, the milestone 30th edition welcomed 77,165 visitors from 141 countries, 14,017 of them international, and brought together over 1,200 exhibiting companies representing 40 countries; on that foundation, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul intends in 2026 to broaden its global footprint and deepen its commercial impact.
Where the packaging sector meets to do business
Across three decades, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul has matured into a firmly rooted international marketplace, connecting suppliers with buyers across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, the CIS region and further afield.
Positioned amid major production and consumption markets, Türkiye strengthens Istanbul’s standing as an obvious meeting point for trade that crosses borders. Accordingly, exhibiting companies can draw on the fair to forge new trading relationships, scout out export markets, sit down with distributors and buying teams, and present their latest products and technologies to an audience of buyers from numerous countries.
In 2026 the complete packaging value chain will once more be on display, stretching from packaging products, materials and supporting solutions through to printing and converting systems, packaging machinery and production technologies, as well as food and beverage processing equipment.
Because these complementary segments sit together under one roof, those attending Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 are able to review a wide range of technologies, compare alternative solutions and assess what their own production and investment plans demand, all in a single commercial environment.
Hosted buyers from overseas to strengthen B2B opportunities
Attracting buyers from other countries remains a central priority for Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026. Through its Hosted Buyer Program, selected buying professionals and decision-makers from priority markets overseas will be welcomed, particularly firms with active investment, purchasing and procurement requirements.
The programme is built around scheduled B2B meetings and in-person networking throughout the halls, with the intention of generating stronger business opportunities between exhibiting companies and qualified overseas buyers.
By pairing suppliers with buyers genuinely in the market for processing technologies, packaging machinery and related solutions, the programme works to create new trading partnerships, strengthen export opportunities and lift the quality of international business conducted during the event.
New thinking, technology and solutions built to last
Requirements in packaging continue to evolve, and manufacturers are focusing ever more sharply on efficiency, automation, material optimisation, sustainability and smarter ways of producing.
At Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026, exhibitors will find a platform for showcasing technologies and solutions that respond to these changing industry priorities. Visitors can expect developments spanning packaging design, machinery, automation, recyclable and resource-saving materials, production technologies and applications aligned with circular economy objectives.
The exhibition therefore offers more than a procurement destination: professionals may equally follow new technology trends and evaluate solutions able to improve output performance and competitive strength.
Food processing technology completes the picture
A substantial share of the 2026 exhibition will again be given over to technologies for food and beverage processing.
Within the Food-Tech Eurasia Special Section, food and drink manufacturers are able to review processing, production and packaging technologies within a single integrated exhibition environment.
For those seeking end-to-end answers covering whole production lines, from processing and preparation through to filling, packaging and how the final product is presented, this combination adds particular value.
Opening fresh doors for trade across borders
Eurasia Packaging Istanbul offers exhibitors and visitors alike a commercially focused environment where partnerships take shape, investment opportunities are assessed and global trade connections are strengthened.
For exhibitors, there is direct access to buyers, distributors, manufacturers and decision-makers drawn from a wide geography. Those visiting, for their part, can compare technologies directly, encounter competing suppliers, evaluate new solutions and speak in person with producers, all in one venue.
In its 31st edition, the fair stays firmly focused on creating worthwhile business contacts and supporting ongoing growth across the packaging and food processing sectors.
Tüyap Fair and Congress Center in Istanbul, Türkiye hosts Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 on 13 to 16 October 2026. Over the course of four days, the event will gather packaging specialists, suppliers and buyers from markets around the world in a focused environment for commercial growth, technology sourcing and new partnerships.
