Istanbul, Türkiye – Eurasia Packaging Istanbul, ranked among the leading trade meetings for the packaging sector in Eurasia, returns for a 31st edition at Tüyap Fair and Congress Center from 13 to 16 October 2026.
The fair is co-organised by Reed Tüyap Fairs Inc., the Turkish Packaging Manufacturers Association (ASD) and additional industry organisations, under the auspices of the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Trade. It will bring together packaging manufacturers, suppliers of technology, buyers, investors and professionals from Türkiye and from overseas markets alike. Once again, a far-reaching trade platform will take in printing and converting, packaging products, production technologies and processing solutions.
In 2025 the milestone 30th edition welcomed 77,165 visitors from 141 countries, among them 14,017 international visitors, and brought together more than 1,200 exhibiting companies from 40 countries. With that momentum behind it, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul intends in 2026 to stretch its international footprint further and strengthen the trade value it delivers.
Where the packaging business finds its strategic crossroads
Across three decades, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul has become an internationally acknowledged marketplace that connects suppliers with buyers across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, the CIS region and further afield.
Positioned amid key production and consumption hubs, Türkiye reinforces Istanbul’s standing as a natural meeting point for trade between countries. On that basis, companies taking stands can build new trade relationships at the fair, survey export markets, hold talks with distributors and buying teams, and present their latest products and technologies to an international audience.
At the 2026 edition, the full packaging chain comes under review once again, with displays reaching from packaging products, materials and supporting solutions to packaging machinery, technologies for production, printing and converting systems, plus equipment for food and beverage processing.
Because these complementary segments share one venue, those attending Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 can review a wide span of technologies, compare rival solutions and assess what their own manufacturing and investment plans call for in a single business environment.
B2B prospects boosted by the global buyer hosting scheme
Drawing buyers from other countries remains a core priority for Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026. Through its Hosted Buyer Program, selected buying professionals and company leaders from target export markets will be invited, chiefly businesses with active investment, purchasing and supply needs.
At the core of the scheme lie scheduled B2B appointments and in-person networking across the fair days, the aim being more focused, better suited trade opportunities for exhibitors and screened overseas buyers.
Matching vendors with buyers who are actively seeking packaging machinery, processing technologies and related solutions, the initiative sets out to spark new trading alliances, bolster export potential and lift the quality of cross-border deal-making at the event.
Fresh thinking, technology and solutions that last
As packaging requirements keep shifting, manufacturers now attach far greater importance to automation, material optimisation, efficiency, sustainability and smarter ways of making goods.
Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 means to serve as a showcase where participating companies reveal technologies and solutions that respond to those changing industry priorities. Innovations there to be explored include design for packaging, machinery, automation, materials that are recyclable and sparing of resources, technologies of production, and uses aligned with circular economy aims.
The fair therefore does more than supply procurement: industry professionals can also track technologies as they emerge and appraise answers that may raise output efficiency and competitive strength.
Food processing technology also fills out the show floor
A notable portion of the 2026 fair will again be devoted to technologies for processing food and beverages.
The Food-Tech Eurasia Special Section allows food and drink manufacturers to review processing, production and packaging technology within a single fairground ecosystem.
That combination holds added benefit for guests seeking integrated answers across complete lines of production, covering processing and preparation as well as filling, packaging and how the finished product is presented.
Opening fresh doors to commerce across borders
Eurasia Packaging Istanbul offers both exhibiting companies and those attending a business-focused environment in which to form new partnerships, assess investment opportunities and strengthen trade connections around the world.
Companies with stands reach buyers, distributors, manufacturers and decision-makers from an extensive range of territories without intermediaries. Those who attend, for their part, can compare technologies against one another, encounter other suppliers, judge fresh solutions and speak face to face with producers, all under the one roof.
As it arrives at edition number 31, the fair stays focused on creating valuable commercial links and supporting continued development in packaging and in food processing.
Tüyap Fair and Congress Center in Istanbul, Türkiye, hosts Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 on 13 to 16 October 2026. Through its four days, the show brings packaging professionals, suppliers and buyers from around the globe into one focused space for growing business, finding technology and striking up partnerships.
