As the industry shifts its focus for 2026 budgets, more brands are asking themselves a simple question: are we visible in the regions where our customers actually operate? The packaging sector in Northern England is accelerating at a pace the Midlands and South can no longer fully represent. That is why so many suppliers are now moving early and securing their position at UKPackaging Expo.
Following the outstanding success of a debut edition in Manchester, we’ve expanded into a larger space to serve the North exclusively, returning for a second edition on November 10 & 11, 2026 at the Exhibition Centre Liverpool,
You talked, we listened. The industry asked for a bigger, bolder, northern-first event… and that is exactly what we are delivering.
Manufacturing output in the North West is £29.5 billion, the highest of any region in the UK, with nearly 15% of regional economic output coming from manufacturing - far higher than many southern regions. With lower venue and exhibiting costs UKPackaging Expo means better ROI for you: More visibility for less budget.
