FESPA expands 2026 with two new event brands

FESPA will debut two new brands FESPA 2026, taking place from 19–22 May 2026 in Barcelona, Corrugated and Textile.

The new Textile event builds on FESPA’s long-standing heritage in screen and digital garment printing, spotlighting the technologies and materials shaping the textile and garment production industry.

Corrugated is a joint venture between FESPA and packaging specialist Brunton Publications. It will provide a dedicated platform for manufacturers of corrugated cardboard packaging and display solutions to meet suppliers of materials, machinery, workflow software and other technologies.

The events will take place alongside the flagship FESPA Global Print Expo 2026, creating a mega-event that brings together five co-located events under one roof: FESPA Global Print Expo, European Sign

FESPA has a positive track record of identifying areas of growth potential for our community and providing an environment where they can discover and understand the possible impact on their own businesses. With the launch of Textile and Corrugated, alongside our established print, signage, and personalisation services, we’re creating a single destination where connected business communities can explore a multitude of opportunities. In Barcelona, FESPA 2026 will be bigger, stronger and even more diverse, further solidifying FESPA as the leading global event and knowledge-sharing platform for all aspects of specialty print,” says Neil Felton, CEO, FESPA.

FESPA says the expanded events align with its FESPA Future strategy, which aims to support business growth and knowledge-sharing across different areas of the speciality print sector. The organisation is broadening its event programme to reflect the evolving interests of printers, sign makers and related suppliers.
