Istanbul, Türkiye – Eurasia Packaging Istanbul, ranked among the Eurasian region’s leading trade platforms for the packaging sector, returns to Tüyap Fair and Congress Center for its 31st edition on 13 to 16 October 2026.
The exhibition, run by Reed Tüyap Fairs Inc. in partnership with the Turkish Packaging Manufacturers Association (ASD) and other industry organisations, and supported by the Republic of Türkiye Ministry of Trade, will draw packaging manufacturers, technology suppliers, buyers, investors and industry experts from Türkiye and markets abroad. Yet again, a wide-ranging trade platform awaits, spanning printing and converting, processing solutions, production technologies and packaging products.
The milestone 30th edition in 2025 attracted 77,165 visitors from 141 countries, among them 14,017 international visitors, and gathered more than 1,200 exhibiting companies based in 40 countries. On the strength of that showing, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul is now preparing, in 2026, to stretch its international footprint and trade influence wider still.
Where the packaging sector converges by design
Over three decades, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul has developed into an established global meeting point connecting suppliers with buyers across Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, Central Asia, the CIS region and further afield.
Positioned between leading production and consumption markets, Türkiye strengthens the reputation of Istanbul as a natural meeting point for trade across borders. Against that backdrop, the fair offers exhibiting companies the opportunity to forge new business relationships, explore export markets, meet distributors and buying professionals, and present their latest products and technologies to an international audience.
In 2026, the whole packaging value chain comes into view once more, bringing together packaging products, materials and related solutions alongside food and beverage processing equipment, printing and converting systems, production technologies and packaging machinery.
With these complementary segments assembled under one roof, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 allows visitors to scan a wide range of technologies, compare solutions directly and assess what their production and investment plans require, all in one trade environment.
Hosted international buyers to strengthen B2B potential
Reaching buyers abroad remains a central focus for Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026. Handpicked purchasing professionals and decision-makers from leading international markets will be welcomed under the Hosted Buyer Program, prioritising companies with active investment, procurement and sourcing needs.
The programme’s aim is more pointed business opportunities between exhibitors and verified overseas buyers, achieved through B2B meetings booked in advance and in-person networking throughout the show.
By matching suppliers with buyers actively seeking packaging machinery, processing technologies and associated solutions, the programme aims to nurture new trade partnerships, strengthen export prospects and lift the quality of international business dealings throughout the exhibition.
New thinking, technology and greener answers
Packaging requirements continue to evolve, and manufacturers are putting steadily more weight on automation, efficiency, sustainability, material optimisation and smarter production methods.
Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 will provide exhibitors with a showcase for technologies and solutions addressing these evolving industry priorities. Visitors will find progress in packaging design, machinery and automation, in recyclable and resource-efficient materials, in production technologies and in applications supporting circular economy aims.
The trade event is therefore not only a sourcing destination: it also lets industry professionals follow emerging technologies and assess solutions able to raise competitiveness and production performance.
Food processing technology completes the fair’s remit
Food and beverage processing technologies will again occupy a considerable share of the 2026 event.
The Food-Tech Eurasia Special Section, part of the same fair ecosystem, allows producers of food and beverages to review processing, production and packaging technologies.
That combination adds further value for visitors seeking integrated solutions covering whole production lines, from preparation and processing through to filling, packaging and final product presentation.
Opening fresh routes into global commerce
For exhibitors and visitors alike, Eurasia Packaging Istanbul provides a business-focused environment for forming new partnerships, assessing investment opportunities and strengthening international trade connections.
Exhibitors gain direct contact with buyers, distributors, manufacturers and decision-makers from a wide geographical spread. Visitors, for their part, can benchmark technologies, discover other suppliers, evaluate new solutions and speak face to face with producers, all under a single roof.
Now in its 31st edition, the fair keeps its focus firmly on building valuable business contacts and supporting continued growth across packaging and food processing industries.
Tüyap Fair and Congress Center in Istanbul, Türkiye hosts Eurasia Packaging Istanbul 2026 on 13 to 16 October 2026. The four-day event will convene packaging sector professionals alongside suppliers and buyers from markets across the globe, offering a focused environment for new partnerships, technology sourcing and business development.
