A new kind of event for a changing industry

Packaging is shifting faster than ever. Sustainability expectations, supply chain pressures, automation, digital workflows and new regulations are redefining how brands operate. The industry needs an event that does not simply mirror the past but instead pushes conversations forward.

This is why UKPackaging Expo is building two dedicated stages for 2026, each focused on future trends, technical insight and transformative ideas. According to Naomi Stewart, Head of Marketing at UKPackaging Expo:

“We are incredibly excited about what is coming for 2026. Our team is currently developing a completely new content programme across two stages, bringing together innovators, technical experts and change makers who will challenge the status quo. This is not another traditional trade show. It is a fresh direction for the industry and a platform that finally puts the North at the forefront.”

From circular economy materials to smart packaging and automation, the programme will shine a light on the topics that matter most to modern brands.

Where creators and problem solvers meet

UKPackaging Expo 2026 is where designers, manufacturers, creators, engineers and supply chain specialists come together to redefine what packaging can be. It is where fresh thinking is encouraged, where new markets are discovered and where ideas turn into opportunities.

If you are ready to step outside the familiar, reach new buyers and explore untapped regions, this is the event for you. Do not be a stranger to new things. Join us in Liverpool for the event where the industry turns upside down to get it right-side up again.
